nice one!

Thank you all for your help with the ID. bayucca nailed it!

Emma, I remember you were nearby when I passed a sign with your county on it :) We were up there for just over 2 days with 2 days of driving. We were in Calistoga and SFO then drove down the coast near Monterey before going inland for the drive to San Diego. I lived in the Bay Area when I was little.
