John: My first thought was - which Vancouver? Vancouver, Washington, USA,
or Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada? They are not that far apart.
In either case, I have suggestions for your trip north:
SONOMA RACEWAY - North of San Francisco, 8.5 miles west of Hwy 101 at the
intersection of Hwy 37 and Hwy 121. Depending on what time of year you
visit, the raceway hosts NASCAR, Indycar, Historic Car Races, World Touring
Car Championship, drag racing.
AVENUE OF THE GIANTS - This world-famous scenic drive is a 31-mile portion
of old Highway 101, which parallels Freeway 101 with its 51,222 acres of
redwood groves. It is by far the most outstanding display of these giant
trees in the entire 500 mile redwood belt. Google it and you can download a
brochure.
FERNDALE - 21 miles north of the "Avenue of the Giants" and a few miles west
of Hwy 101. Discover Northern California's best-kept secret--The Victorian
Village of Ferndale. A photographer's paradise and a shopper's delight.
Explore the classic architecture, old-fashioned mercantiles, antique stores,
art galleries, and specialty shops.
In Eureka, THE SAMOA COOK HOUSE. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are still
served daily at the last surviving lumber camp-style cookhouse in the West,
built in 1893. Food is served family-style. Again, Google.
