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 />
