I used to drive to Eureka from the east bay 3 x a year or so.
It is looong -- albeit beautiful -- pull.
The drive from Redding to Arcata/Eureka is also beautiful.
The UAX SFO-ACV flight is wonderful -- low altitude, gorgeous.
But it's usually very expensive. At certain times of year, you run a good chance (particularly at night) of having the plane return to SFO when the fog rolls in so deeply that there is no point in even starting an approach.
