Enjoy a two-hour motorcycle jaunt along California's Usal Road, from near the junction of Highway 1, North of Rockport, all the way until it becomes Chemise Mountain Road at Shelter Cove, along the Lost Coast. Gives you an idea of the setting along the isolated coastline area of Northern California. Set at real time speed, not high speed, it is a genuine enjoyment. YouTube offers a number of such vicarious voyages.
