When I was heading to Casper last month, I saw a turn off for Elk(14mi) about mid way from 101 to 1 on Hwy 128.  Is this the turn off to take or is it better to go to Hwy 1 then South to Elk?

Dear Kevin:

                  Hwy1 adds one Hr. to your travel time and, not too many places to pullover. I would use 101 N. to Cloverdale and, take the 128 W. to Ft. Bragg route.  I lived in Albion and, traveled that route twice a week. Make sure to stock up on the 101 side of the hill.

It all depends what time you leave the bay area.  I just did this drive last weekend.  If you are heading up Friday AM and can get through Santa Rosa via 101 before 2:00, I would say take the inland route (101 to 128 to 1).  If not, go the coastal route (cut over in Petaluma or go through Sebastopol to River Road) as there will be less traffic.  The cutoff off from 128 to Elk outside Boonville is not bad.

This was the cutoff I am referring to...  I plan on going 101 to 128.

Should I take the Elk cutover at Boonville or continue on to Hwy 1?  If I remember correctly the sign at Boonville state 14 miles.  I'm towing a trailer, so let me know if it is curvey.  Thanks.

I've only taken Philo-Greenwood Road once, but if I rememeber correctly a trailer would be fine.  It's curvey, but what road near the coast isn't?  Maybe one of the locals can chime in.

Take Philo Greenwood with just a vehicle, take 128 to 1 if your towing.
