Yep -- 20 to Ft. Bragg is a piece of cake, by comparison! What a wonderful area that is. Did you know that there is great camping in the Jackson Demonstration State Forest? The rangers in Ft. Bragg can give you more details.
If you need any recreational equipment, try the Outdoor Store in Ft. Bragg -- a surprisingly good selection, good prices, and good recreational tips from the staff.
One more thing -- they just opened the Noyo Bike Trail -- you can ride from the Noyo River all the way up to the Tenmile area, about ten miles each way. A great ride -- great views of the seals along the way. And mountain biking at Van Damme and Russian Gulch. Cool, clear air.
