I'll see you your Lost Coast fishing village, and raise you a just-concluded Sierra Nevada road trip.
Sierraville:
http://www.sierrahotsprings.org/ Take a nice, long soak. Take two; they're cheap.
West of Truckee:
Donner Memorial State Park and Emigrant Trail Museum https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g33191-d156947-Reviews-Donner_Memorial_State_Park_and_Emigrant_Trail_Museum-Truckee_Lake_Tahoe_California_.html 'Calling Donner, party of 10. Calling Donner, party of 9. Calling Donner, party of 8...' (Indigestion: It must have been someone they ate.)
Historic US Route 40 from I-80 Soda Springs exit (west end) to I-80 Donner Lake exit (east end): http://www.sfgate.com/outdoors/sundaydrive/article/Enjoying-one-of-California-s-best-locations-5602023.php
Yuba River as seen from Hampshire Rocks Road (paralleling I-80) between the I-80 exit for Cisco (west end) and the I-80 exit for Rainbow (east end).
[RM note: The two prior entries are highly recommended in particular for anyone going over I-80 through the Sierra Nevada, and I experienced them both this past Saturday. Both were magnificently scenic.]
Downieville:
Sierra County Sheriff's Gallows https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g32309-d8435091-Reviews-Sierra_County_Sheriffs_Gallows-Downieville_California.html
Nevada City:
Nevada Country Railroad Museum, 5 Kidder Court, Nevada City, CA https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g32771-d2244246-Reviews-Nevada_County_Narrow_Gauge_Railroad_Museum-Nevada_City_California.html
Malakoff Diggins State Historic Park, North Bloomfield Road, Nevada City, CA https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g32771-d128392-Reviews-Malakoff_Diggins_State_Historic_Park-Nevada_City_California.html
Nevada City City Hall (surprise Art Deco in a Victorian small town!): https://www.instagram.com/explore/locations/21977990/
Stop at Three Forks Bakery & Brewing Company, and have the Easy Ugly Stout. It's a lovely malty concoction, and at 6.4% ABV you'll still be able to handle California Route 49 on the way out of town. http://www.threeforksnc.com/beer/
