Johnny Casali’s story of resilience and</p><p>community is a tear-jerker, very moving.</p><p>○ Once you arrive back from your amazing tour, grab dinner at one of the</p><p>many delicious restaurants in Eureka such as Tavern 1888, and head back</p><p>down the 101 south to Benbow Inn which is also a great spot for dinner.</p><p>● Day 7:</p><p>○ The historic Benbow Inn has an onsite restaurant and a big patio opening</p><p>up to the Eel River which is a great place to enjoy your morning coffee and</p><p>cannabis ritual.</p><p>○ Heading south, stop to explore Richardson Grove, a beautiful redwood</p><p>park that straddles Highway 101 that has been a battleground for</p><p>environmental conservation after attempts to widen the highway.</p><p>○ Repeat any stops you really enjoyed as you head south back to Oakland to</p><p>catch your flight home.</p>
