Another Rusty Nut event in the books. Yesterday morning several of us gathered at the Park and Ride just South of Eureka, ate a few donuts, and decided where we should go for the day. Eventually it was decided we would just head South on the Avenue of the Giants until we found sunshine.
We meandered through Fortuna, made a coffee pit stop in Rio Dell, stopping to stretch legs in Myers Flat. Then we continued on to Garberville to get some lunch supplies and headed to Redwood State Park Headquarters near Weott for lunch.
The park Headquarters has a neat museum with a Nash Quad turned into the first 4wd camper made from a hollowed out redwood log and a short movie about the big Humboldt County flood of 1964.
In all, it was about 120 miles 'o smiles. The more I go to car shows, the more I feel like the best part is getting there.
Although I had a great time, I missed the more remote, challenging route we took last year. After some discussion, next year you may be invited to two different Reliability Runs. One leisurely, easy fun run and a more hard core, remote exploration of Humboldt County. Here is a virtual car show of yesterdays cast of characters.
Hope you can join us next year!
