One year and another trip on California Hwy. 1, that time heading North from San Diego, was planned after an earthquake closed the road near Carmel. We had the road almost to ourselves up and back between San Luis Obispo and Big Sur in a Supra. Epic.

I'm thinking after hitting Portland (there's this sushi place that I want to visit again), I go directly west towards Cannon Beach then straight down Highway 101 to San Fran. I don't know xD

Would sleeping maybe 5-6 hours a night and hauling ass while spending maybe an hour or two at certain spots cut that down to maximum 7 days? :P

I'll have two weeks of vacation, 1 week around March-April getting used to the car (and manual transmission) while the second week is used for vacation during June or July.

Honestly, I don't know why I'm planning this far out! XD Things could change.

Well now, will you have a co-pilot (to spell you driving) .. ??

If so, my suggestion for week one.

I-5 to Portland to have your raw fish; take Route 26 over to 101; 101 to Leggett, CA; jump on route 1 down to Cambria; take 41 over to I-5 and hammer back to Seattle.

5 days down; 1.5 days back, half day to unkink your back ....

Week two of your split vacation. Just do Utah.

No co-pilot. My brother will be taking his own car and we are going to do a two car road trip. (It'll be when pigs grow wings and fly when I let someone else drive my car)

But I'll bookmark your post and add it to the "future list of things I'm going to do with the car"... um list.

Actually gonna be driving fr Georgia to Massachusetts by myself in the next month or so. First time doing it in a manual, but I'm actually pretty excited for it.
