Q + A

Getting There

For those of you coming from the east (Sacramento area/ Reno) – you can take hwy 20 around the north shore of Clear Lake to 101 and then out to Boonville or you can take hwy 80 and then 101 up through Santa Rosa and then 128 over to Boonville.&nbsp; For those of you coming from the Bay Area or farther south – you can take hwy 101 all the way up to hwy 128 and then over to Boonville.&nbsp; If anyone is driving down from the north (Portland/ Seattle) – you'll take 5 down to Williams and then hwy 20 around Clear Lake to 101 and then out to Boonville. From Boonville: The fastest way to Oz Farm is along Mountain View road for 50 minutes, however this is a very windy road and not for the faint of heart. I would recommend continuing north to Navarro and taking hwy 128 out to the coast and hwy 1 and then driving south on 1 back towards Oz farm. This will add on 20 minutes, but the road is not as windy and there are some very worth while views of the redwoods as well as opportunities for a quick beach stop!&nbsp;&nbsp;
