Join us!

I'll start to edit this update or post future ones as they come in to keep the momentum going. In May, we'll figure out best meeting times and we can privately exchange cell phone numbers to be able 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!


SATURDAY, MAY 15:

:arrow: 1. 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.

:arrow: 2. 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

:arrow: 3. TBD: 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). Drivers: Caught in a Crossfire, AZ Outlaws, Vegas Crossfire, Diane.

:arrow: 4. Arroyo Grande back where the 1 and 101 join up again. Next stretch is Pismo Beach and 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

:arrow: 5. Nepenthe on Highway 1. Not too far south of Carmel, their restaurant might be a good get-to-know-everyone early dinner stop. The famous "17 mile drive" would top off the trip if done during daylight hours. Drivers: Dick Bohnsack, rabbitroodle, Reg Kittrelle, Caught in a Crossfire, AZ Outlaws, Vegas Crossfire, Diane

:arrow: 6. Monterey on Highway 1. Possible late dinner for the whole group. 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.
