Lost Coast - Remotest stretch of beach area in Lower 48 - Awesome Camping !

This past April, I went up to the Lost Coast area just north of Ft. Bragg, Ca. off Hwy 1 and Usal rd. I had found out about it through several friends and knew it was a must see. You find it just north of Ft. Bragg , Ca on Hwy 1 as it starts going back into the trees from the beach a few miles north, and then theirs a rd. called Usal rd , aka mendocino couty rd 431. its a mild to medium dirt rd that goes through the forest for 5 miles and brings you out to some of the best views of the coast and up 1500 ft or so above the ocean ... follow it back down the mountain on the other side, cross a little wooden bridge and their camping at Sinkyone state park to the left in amongst trees. several good camp sites there, then your at one of the most beautiful beaches I've ever seen. I wish there was a place to up load pics here, cause I would show you what I mean ! ... the trail also goes past the beach area for another 19 miles up north towards Shelter cove, but you need 4 wheel drive past the beach area as the rd gets pretty bad. but when I went that part above the beach was closed anyway.... it's only open some every year... anyway , It is amazing up there and I highly recommend going ONLY during the week, weekends are when the locals come and have wild parties, etc. .... but I went on a tues-thurs, and I was the only one there ! Before I went , I watched this video and it was the deciding factor... I left the next day ... Lost Coast bound !
