The Long Way

Highway 1 from Gualala up to Westport, town by town, in the order the road gives them to you.

8 towns · 650 places on the road · 295 more inland or off it

Driving north, which is the direction the views are on your side. Distances are straight-line miles between town centres, so the road will be longer than every number here. Highway 1 does not go in straight lines and nobody has driven this with a stopwatch.
