Episode: The Redwood Highway corridor on the South Fork Eel River (US Route 101, Avenue of the Giants, CA 271 and more)
Description: The corridor of the Redwood Highway on the South Fork Eel River is an incredibly scenic stretch of highway which is carried by modern US Route 101, Avenue of the Giants and California State Route 271. What tends to get overlooked about the Redwood Highway on the South Fork Eel River is how significant it was allowing automobiles to reach the North Coast of California. Today in the Gribblenation Roadcast Tom discusses how the Redwood Highway on the South Fork Eel River bypassed the hellish Rattlesnake Grade and opened up the North Coast of California to the automobile.
