Highway 1 through the lost coast

One of the new CA 211 shields:

Nice looking job!   Looks like there's a wider white outline around the green number field than usual.  But D1 got the kerning right (unlike D4 practice; there's new signage for CA 61 near Oakland Airport, and about 1 out of 5/6 actually looks acceptable!).

I tried tracing mountain roads from Hales Grove on 1 to Whitethorn. Dear lord, how do people living on the Lost Coast get around?!

Having been back in there I can tell you it ain't easy and is time consuming (in a good way during a visit).

Now what would be really great if there was something at the Fernbridge Exit from US 101.  At least heading south there is no trail blazer shield on any of the guide signs.

Last time I was up there (ca. 2014) there was a stand-alone CA 211 trailblazer with an angled arrow just before the exit on NB 101; didn't come back that way, so don't know if a similar one was posted SB.

Definitely isn't one now on SB 101.  I'm not sure about NB 101 though.  Slightly off topic, CA 254 were rare to find in field this year.  Most of the signage just indicates "Avenue of the Giants."

I saw a trip report with pictures on Usal Road in a passenger car. It's dirt, but looks drivable. Now that's the real lost coast, not the easy Mattole Road through Petrolia.
