Highway 1 and Skaggs Rd. Drive

Took a fun long drive up Highway 1 in Marin. Came across from the east bay on the Richmond-San Rafael bridge (driving through some strong fog) and started the drive on Lucas Valley Ranch Rd. This is the road that the old Lucasfilm property is on, Skywalker sound is still there. The big boulder denotes the beginning of the property all the way to the "ranch". After that it was through Nicasio-Ranch and reservoir, and over to Point Reyes Station and Highway 1 north. I ended up trying out Skaggs Rd heading back into Healdsburg... I don't know that I'd do it again... the first section is extremely narrow and rough road with pot holes and locals that don't like to move over for you. It opens up a bit better, but with the cold damp and questionable roads the speeds were kept in check. Still some pretty views. Next time I'll likely return down Highway 1 for more ocean views. Here are some pics...
