Highway 20 Willits to Fort Bragg, Calif. ???
Considering going to Pomo in Fort Bragg, pulling a 36' fifth wheel, how good or bad is highway 20, Willits to Fort Bragg ? Thanks

I camped in the Jackson State Forest in both of the last two summers, and I'm here to say that Hwy 20 between Willits and Fort Bragg is AWFUL!
It's narrow and very curvy...a sightline longer than a few hundred yards is the exception. Pullouts are few to begin with, rarely warned of, and too short once you find one. All of that would be easier to live with except for the posted, very bizarre rule that one has to yield to A SINGLE VEHICLE when it comes up behind you...which leads to a whole lot of very aggressive tailgating by the commuters that use the road daily. They don't want to take the hour mentioned (above-post-but-one) to go 35 miles, and will let you know in no uncertain terms.
Once I "learned the road" it got a little easier, but for those who just want to pass over it once or twice, brace yourselves for a white knuckler...especially if you're towing!
