definitely enjoy the fact that people can bring their dogs with. I completely enjoyed people's company and camaraderie and the staff that you have very professional and very ready to answer any questions you might have for them and very pleasant. I highly recommend taking a ride on the skunk train to the Glen Blair bar.

Have taken the train multiple times and enjoyed every trip. Done the Fort Bragg ride as well as the Willits route. Personal favorite is the Willits side but both are great trips.
