The second annual Hansen’s <strong>Central</strong> <strong>Valley</strong><br />
<strong>Corvettes</strong> President’s Mystery Run is now in the<br />
record book. Thirteen cars including twenty-six<br />
members shoved off to points unknown on<br />
Monday September 29 and returned home Friday<br />
afternoon <strong>October</strong> 3. Those taking part included<br />
Dale and Sue Comer, Charlie and Kim Fosnaugh,<br />
Pat and Patricia Garrahan, Glenn and Lorraine<br />
Henderson, Mike and Lynne Henenfent, Mike and<br />
Mary Lebda, Herb and Freida Null, Fred and Terri<br />
Parks, Gary and Jan Pflepsen, Steve and Jill<br />
Rosen, Skip and Leigh Ann Severance, Del and<br />
Sue Walker and Craig and Pam Hansen.<br />
On the first day we headed up the peninsula to<br />
the Presidio in San Francisco for a guided tour of<br />
the Disney Family Museum. Following lunch it<br />
was over the Golden Gate to the Benbow Inn,<br />
located just south of Garberville. The Benbow is<br />
a historic lodge built in 1926. That evening Freida<br />
Null began serving up unlimited margaritas as we<br />
sat from a deck overlooking the Eel River.<br />
The following day we took a beautiful drive on<br />
the old 101 highway now known as the Avenue of<br />
the Giants. This scenic two-lane route takes you<br />
up close and personal with the giant Redwood<br />
trees. We took the trail at the Founders Grove<br />
and walked amongst trees one and a half times<br />
the height of the Del Webb building. Another<br />
stunning drive was through the Rockefeller Grove<br />
where day turns into night as you drive under the<br />
dense forest of 2,000 year old, 370 feet tall trees.<br />
After a quick drive through Rio Dell on the State<br />
Route 183, the shortest highway in California, we<br />
made our way to Ferndale for lunch at the<br />
Victorian Inn and some shopping. Later that day<br />
we returned to the Benbow Inn.<br />
On day three we headed south to Leggett where<br />
all the cars drove through the Chandelier Tree to<br />
set the stage for our upcoming 2015 calendar.<br />
Then it was time to hit Highway 1 and head out<br />
to the sweeping Pacific Ocean. We stopped in<br />
Mendocino for lunch and more shopping before<br />
our next stay at the Little River Inn and enjoyed<br />
our group dinner overlooking the ocean.<br />
Day four saw us travel down Highway 1 with a<br />
group photo stop at the Point Arena Lighthouse,<br />
lunch at the “Tides Inn” in Bodega Bay, a jaunt<br />
up to Bodega to see the old schoolhouse used in<br />
the movie “The Birds,” and then down to<br />
Tomales Bay for our final night at Point Reyes<br />
Seashore Lodge in Olema. With the margarita<br />
supply exhausted and not wanting to tire out<br />
Freida, we enjoyed a quiet evening in the<br />
garden while some played games and others<br />
watched football.<br />
Our last day saw us continue on Highway 1<br />
through Stinson Beach and over to the Golden<br />
Gate Bridge where we ended up at 11am in<br />
Santa Clara for a private tour of the new San<br />
Francisco 49ers home, Levi’s Stadium. It was a<br />
great tour as we visited the upscale lounge,<br />
press box, one of the suites, the visitors’ locker<br />
room, the 49er Goldrush cheerleaders locker<br />
room, then down on the field and finally into<br />
the Hall of Fame Museum.<br />
After an action packed week, we headed for<br />
home and arrived around 6pm on Friday<br />
<strong>October</strong> 3. Pam and I want to give special<br />
thanks to Dale and Sue Comer for helping us put<br />
this run on. As mentioned a big thank you to<br />
Freida Null and we want to thank all those who<br />
went with us. At our next meeting on <strong>October</strong><br />
21, we will fill in some of the other details of our<br />
adventure. Also don’t forget this month is the<br />
final month for nominating your 2015 CVC<br />
Board members.<br />
