Car passed PPI -- no surprises there. My son and I will meet up in San Diego on Saturday to pick up the car and hit the road. We're looking for the scenic route. We will take our time and make the drive over two days. Day one from San Diego to Pismo Beach and Day two from there back to Berkeley. I think I've got a handle on the route I want for day two. It's day one that's got me stumped. Can I take US 101 all the way? Is that silly? If we're talking about a boring, not interesting ride then should I take 5 for a chunk and if so, where do I cut over to 101. I'm kind of chasing my tail at the moment.
