Courtney,
Head up 101. (North)
If you and Roy are on teardrop time... Check out the Avenue of the Giants on your way up, 31 miles of scenic redwoods and sites. (It's really just the old two lane highway)
If it's near or about lunchtime when you reach Garberville, take the exit just North of there back onto the AOTG at Phillipsville (Pville) and stop for lunch at the Chimney Tree.... World's Best Cheeseburger; The Chimney Burger. These folks own Fort Seward Ranch. (One of the county's larger, if not the largest cattle ranch) They take the best of their stock and turn it into hamburger for that little burger stand.
After lunch and a little stroll up Ohman Creek, or a nap... start heading North again....
Whoops, I forgot to mention checking out The Drive Thru Tree at Leggett. (South of Garberville)
OK.... As you head North you will drive past The Pacific Lumber Company at Scotia/Rio Dell. Next, you will drive across a bridge that spans the Van Duzen River. If you're tired, that bridge will wake you up because of the way the road surface is grooved. (Eeeh-ahhh, eeeh-ahhh)
Just after crossing that bridge you will come to the "junction" for Highway 36 East. (Don't blink, or you might miss it) Look for a run down Redwood Burl Gift Shop... Turn Right on 36 East. (Two lane road)
As you enter Hydseville, the road takes a sharp right hand turn... Continue on into Carlotta and start looking for a small country store on your right called Martin and Shirley's.
Pamplin Grove is less than a mile beyond the store and Swimmers Delight is just a bit further...
After passing the entrance to Pamplin Grove, be on the lookout for a long straight stretch that heads up hill, the entrance to Swimmers Delight is just beyond the crest of that hill.
You will see three brown signs. (Swimmer, Tent and Picnic Table)
Turn right there, that's the entrance road into Swimmers Delight, there will be a loop road to your left into the campground, just beyond the pay station.
Food; Bring what ever you feel like... Nobody goes hungry.
Fall colors?.... You might see a few here and there, but Redwood trees are green year round. (Be carefull not to strain your neck)
Dean there well be two fo us in my Tear my Sis is is also comming (shirley) Wow a potluck sound's great
