THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!!! I was feeling a little frustrated with my planning when I originally posted but after getting all this great advice I came up with a route last night that I am super exited about and feel is just right distance wise for me to do in a week.
The plan now is to do a one way car rental to Eureka or Crescent city then ride the coast back and hit a little of the lost coast on the way. I had not thought of a one way rental but it solves all my logistic problems I was running into. Doesn't look to bad price-wise either. Sorry for my replies being slow, they still have to be approved before showing up. I'm off for a ride now, happy friday everyone!
