This classic book by Diane Hawk is once again available - new, and $5 cheaper than the original price, thanks to the author’s generosity. It’s a great deal!

This book is a history, photograph and postcard collection of the auto camps, auto courts, early motels and service stations that were once a part of the highway landscape in scenic Northern California. It takes you on a journey from the Humboldt/Del Norte County line south of Klamath to the Oregon border on Highway 199. It is a step back in time from the 1920s through the 1960s when the Redwood Highway was just a winding, narrow two-lane highway. Here is your chance to get a glimpse of what awaited the highway traveler in earlier days.
