We are in the process of planning a trip through California's Pacific Coast Highway.OK, we're done, the trip has been planned.
The plan is not to have a plan. We will depart Denver, on or about, September 20th and make our way west towards Los Angeles.
We're spending one night in the L.A. area and anywhere from 8 to 10 days for the remainder of the trip before finding our way back to Denver. There are no definitive stops along the way other than seeing a friend in L.A. and visiting the Steinbeck Museum in Salina's.
The rest of the trip will be unplanned. We will eat when hungry, sleep when tired, and when nature calls...well, you know. Since we plan on spending a large portion of our nights under the stars our Xterra will be packed with camping gear.
During the trip I will be updating this blog several times a day. You will be able to see what we see in real time. You'll be there if we visit William Randolph Hearst's stately, yet a little bit crazy, manor. When we see the majestic redwoods, you'll see the majestic redwoods. We surf, you surf.
Immediately after I snap a picture or take a video it will be posted on this site. Mere seconds after the picture has been taken you can see it.
So if you know any must-see spots, great restaurants, or giant balls of yarn let us know. We'll try our best to stop and take a picture. All we ask is that the location be close to Highway 1 or 101.
The adventure begins Thursday September 20th. See you on the road!

Sounds like an awesome trip! I'm betting you're going in the Jeep, eh? I definitely will be keeping tabs!
Ok...now I'm logged in with my Blogger account...don't know how it figured out who I was the first time...damn smart computers and stuff...
Thanks for the message guys!
Sonny, the picture was taken by the Ansel Adams of Kentucky.
Rob, nope...no jeep. It's stick and Jeana can't drive stick. As much as I love driving I don't want to be behind the wheel the entire trip. Jeana and I will share driving duty.
All posts, including pictures, will be made via my cell phone. It'll be an interesting experiment.
Later

Sounds like a great time. Thanks for taking us with! As members of your vacation adventure, remember that we usually buy a couple of cheap magnets and a coffee mug or two from the places we visit (just kidding) :) Hope it's wonderful, can't wait to see the posts! Happy traveling!
Arrr... matey! Oops sorry National talk like a pirate day was yesterday. Having a hard time breaking the routine. Anyway everyone here in Miamuh is anxiously awaiting your departure. The town (Hialeah) is having a parade down Palm Ave. today in honor of your trip. There will be a band, clowns, games (pin the tail on the rooster) etc. One heck of a shing ding if you ask me. Anyway be safe and remember "Don't share your beer with strangers"
It was good to see the tunnel again. We were so happy when they bored that hole through the mountain. It saved us that pull over the Loveland Pass at about 12,000 ft.
Looking forward to seeing you Sat at 0900. If you get lost call me at 951-244-7799

Say! Plan to stay around Grand Junction area or Green River tonight as there isn't much but purple sage in between those spots and it's few and far between----but what a beautiful drive.
