Join us!

I'll edit this update or post future ones as they come in to keep the momentum going. PM AZ Outlaws with your cell phone and whether you have walkie talkies to bring along so he can create a private list to coordinate stops.

Even if you're not sure if you can make it, let us know if we should add your name to the Drivers List!

Please note that times and meeting places are subject to change! If you know the area and think the driving times are off, or if you want to suggest a better meeting place or itinerary, we're happy to make changes!

SATURDAY, MAY 15:

:arrow: 1. 8:00am Santa Monica, Highway 1...next stretch is along coast thru Malibu...very pretty. Meeting time is early morning TBD (8 or 9am?), and meeting place is the parking lot of the Comfort Inn at 2815 Santa Monica Blvd., Santa Monica. Drivers: AZ Outlaws, Vegas Crossfire, Diane, PageOneResults, Sunny9850

:arrow: 2. 9:30am TBD: Oxnard/Ventura/Port Hueneme, Highway 1 and 101 join here...next stretch is along ocean up through Santa Barbara...should be green (or brown in a heat wave) rolling hills. Drivers: Caught in a Crossfire, AZ Outlaws, Vegas Crossfire, Diane, PageOneResults, Sunny9850

:arrow: 3. 10:30am Doubletree Hotel Parking Lot: Santa Barbara/Gaviota, Highway 101 where it just veers inland (we'll figure out later if we want to drive on the 1 or the 101 across the Lompoc Penninsula...neither is along beach...1 is rural, and 101 is more of a straight shot). To get to the meeting spot, take 101 North to Cabrillo Blvd., left exit off the freeway, left onto Cabrillo Blvd., right into the hotel parking lot. Address 633 E. Cabrillo Blvd. From there we will be able to all drive along the ocean front in Santa Barbara (where on Saturdays there is an art festival) Then, we will make a right onto State Street, (the main street in Santa Barbara where EVERYONE is out shopping on a Saturday morning) and left onto Carillo St. which leads straight back to the 101! Drivers: Caught in a Crossfire, AZ Outlaws, Vegas Crossfire, Diane, Will the Thrill, Sunny9850

:arrow: 4. 1:30pm Pismo Beach's famous McClintocks Steakhouse is an easy landmark off the 101 after the 1 and 101 join up again. To save time, we'll skip a sit-down lunch if everyone agrees and maybe make a minimart stop for gas and food as we go through San Luis Obispo on the 101 and then it splits back to the 1 down to Morro Bay and along the ocean past Hearst Castle. This begins some of the most beautiful coastal driving...virtually on a cliff overlooking the ocean all the way up to Big Sur. Drivers: Reg Kittrelle, Caught in a Crossfire, AZ Outlaws, Vegas Crossfire, Diane, Will the Thrill, Sunny9850

:arrow: 5. 5:30pm The park entrance to the 17 mile drive on Highway 1. Not too far south of Carmel and near the beginning of the famous "17 mile drive" that would top off the trip if done during daylight hours. Following the 17 mile drive, we can all do dinner in Carmel around 7:00pm. Drivers: Dick Bohnsack, rabbitroodle, Reg Kittrelle, Caught in a Crossfire, AZ Outlaws, Vegas Crossfire, Diane, Will the Thrill, Sunny9850, cgates

:arrow: 6. Monterey on Highway 1. Final destination for some to stay the night. From here, it's easy to cut back to the 101 for a "straight shot" drive (vs winding highway 1) south back to Los Angeles...about 6 hours drive.
