12 городов на калифорнийском шоссе 101, где путешественники никогда не останавливаются дважды

California's Highway 101 stretches 800 miles from the Oregon border to Los Angeles. It passes through redwood forests, wine country, and some of the most beautiful coastline on the planet. It also passes through 12 towns where road trippers stop once, look around, and never come back. From a town of 77 people whose economy runs on a hole in a tree, to a place where a third of the police force got arrested for stealing cars from the people they swore to protect, to a city literally named "Loneliness" that sits between two overcrowded state prisons... this is the Highway 101 road trip California doesn't want you to take. We're driving north to south, hitting every town with real numbers, real stories, and zero sugarcoating. 📍 TOWNS COVERED (North to South): #12 Leggett (Population: 77.
