directions to MENDO

I am debating whether to take I-5 to 20 and cut over by clear lake or head over to 101 and drive up. What is 20 like?

Brian,

Are you going to "Elk" this weekend?  If so, we'll miss you in Ukiah for the Striper Tournament.

From your direction choices however it sounds like you have the right place in mind, just not the town's name.

Brian

.....he just woke up - that's why he's still on a confused state of mind    

Assuming you mean Ukiah, I'd say the choice of 101 vs 20 has a lot to do with when you're heading up.

If you're planning on heading up during rush hour 101 can be a pain and you might have better luck with 5 to 20.

BTW, the difference between the two routes (according to MapQuest) is 11 miles and about 15 mins with 101 being the shorter.

Brian

If you enjoy sitting in Friday traffic take 101.  
Most of 20 is 55mph few hills and a little traffic along Clear lake more miles but less stress.

Joel busted me there. I was dreaming of that wild fishing at Elk. Looking for a repeat at Mendo.

I am going to be leaving a 4:00 on friday so 20 seems like the way for me =).

I was just wondering how windy the road is.

Hey, no fare you edited your post.  Now my witty reply looks way off base.  

Let me know how you find hwy 20?


Brian

Hey Brain G......the Mendo Bendo striper derby is at Elk....see you there  

20 along Clear Lake is medium twisty.  Way less chance for massive traffic on 20.  101 north on a Friday can be UGLY from Novato, Petaluma, and SR...yuk.

I can make it to my sisters in Elk Grove in just under 3 hours, so that should give you an idea on the drive.

Hey Sean!

How early are you gonna be at the camp?  How early can I get there?

I am so antsy now that I am likely to be on the road from SC at 7-8 am which gets me to medo around noon......

Gol diddly darn am I antsy.....
