They created a 101 bypass around the town over the last few years. I went south from Eureka to the airport in SF, and my map electronics didn't have the route listed yet. They were still building it in the autumn of '15.

John's right about a bypass around Willts. It re-joins the old road about where the ?LP mill was. It's 2 lane from there until you come out of the canyon, and then goes to 4 lane, until about 6 miles from Laytonville. I'm not sure what restaurant/ inn you mean. It must be north of Leggett. Maybe this place?

One of the most recent battles was over my childhood haunt, Hartsook Inn. The lodge smack on the Eel River, just south of Richardson Grove, is where my family stayed throughout the 1960s. Playing shuffleboard with Dad. Swimming with Mom in the Eel River. Hiking up to the redwood groves on the hill behind our cabin.

After years of struggling, the owners shut down and talked about logging the huge trees on the property. The Save-the-Redwoods League bought them out in 1998 and plans to sell the property to the Heartwood Institute, a new-age-style bodywork and massage school. The redwoods -- including the 13-foot-diameter Hartsook Giant -- will be protected. An apparent happy ending for the old place.
