Many stories have been based on what happens when you go into the dark woods. About 15 miles north of Fort Bragg, the coastline becomes too rugged for the Highway 1 so it takes off east into the forests. The last trickle of Bay Area weekenders have petered out miles earlier, about the same time all those cute cottages disappeared.
The redwood forest seems to swallow everything. But the people have fought back with the most damning weapon of all, Kitsch Americanus.
Hunters, test your wits with the Chipalope, it is rare AND elusive. It should not be taken lightly.
The onslaught begins in Leggett with the Drive-Thru Tree and does not end until the Last Chance Liquor store at the Oregon border. As you'll see, the redwoods win in some stretches of road and lose badly in others...
