Number of times your passenger felt like vomiting due to motion sickness:77,253.

Number of times you thought you were going to go off the edge because it was midnight with fog and those damn kamakaze rabbits kept throwing themselves at the car:27

Making it home safely: priceless

I whooped it up one 4th of July on Mad Dog 20-20 at the Mattole Grange until 3am...and then teetered over to my campsite at A.W. Way campground next door. After the twirlies came and went and I got about four hours of sleep, it was time to drive back to Eureka. Damn you Petrolia Road! Upchucked three times between the store and Malfunction Junction.
I should have taken Upper Bear River Road into Rio Dell...it would have been smoother.

I guess you pay for your sins.

And those kinds of memories are priceless as well.

I don't know about taking Bear River Ridge Rd. to Rio Dell, though. It might have been a less-curvy ride, but as Keri mentioned, you would have had to deal with those crazy Jihad bunnies.
