Re: Road Trip

I have done the CA/OR coast trip many, many times and I highly recommend it. 
 Driving and camping along 1/101 is one of my favorite things to do on 
vacation.  Do note that you should plan on taking several days to do it if 
you:

a) take 1 up from Marin (north of Golden Gate) to Fort Bragg as it is REALLY 
twisty
b) enjoy taking pictures (the roosevelt elk in Del Norte county around 
Crescent city are awesome and the coastal scenery is hard to beat for 
jaw-dropping ocean views)
c) don't like passing RV's on 2 lane roads
d) like taking in some tourist spots

It took about two days of pretty solid driving to go from Portland to San 
Jose via 1/101.  Take the scenic by-passes.  They are less crowded, twistier 
roads that usually reveal spectacular scenery.  Most of the time they are 
not more than a few miles longer than the highway.

Feel free to contact me off digest if you would like tips as to where to 
stay/camp etc.  Have fun, and enjoy your new Berlina!!!
