Heck, let me know when you'll be there and I might even stop by and join you, lol. Actually, I might need to take a drive now that I'm talking about it, gotta go....

Oh, and Sunday brunch has live music, I haven't made it to that yet as I work the weekends, but I hear it is great too!

Mountain House will end in Boonville. Head south of town to Hwy 253 and head east to Ukiah/Hwy 101. From there, head south on Hwy 101 to Hopland and take Hwy 175 east to Lakeport/Hwy 29. Hwy 29 south will then take you over Mt. Saint Helena into the Napa Valley.

I did the Hwy 1 to 101 route about a month ago (I had a work meeting on the coast). I can't wait until I have to go to Pt. Arena again.
