If you really want to drive and have fun, I would suggest the following route once you get to far northern CA: - 36 east from Fortuna
- Pick up 3 north
- Take 3 north all the way to Yreka
- Pick up 96 west/south all the back down to 299 in Willow Creek
- Take 299 west back to Arcata/Eureka
These are beautiful and well maintained 2 lanes roads with plenty of opportunity for some spirited driving. Check out google street view along the route.

That road looks like an absolute blast to drive. I'm not gonna make it up there but I'd definitely drive it on the way back if I ever buy a car from the NW.
