Thanks Denis. I've done the Hwy 1 thing all the way from San Diego to Oregon.
Most gorgeous scenery and the most gorgeous coast line of probably anywhere
else in the world. Just nothing like the CA beach. Just have never done it in
a VW.

the whole trip? Piece o' cake. Why not do it in your camper? It's much more of
an adventure in a bus. The danger of not making it, of breaking down on a 500'
cliff in Big Sur. There will be vistas that you would never be able to study if
you weren't stuck behind a friggin' RV for 35 miles near Carmel. You could just
pass him in the Baja, and what fun is that? Sleeping in the bus in a roadside
stop and waking to the smell and barking of mating or fighting sea lions. And
there is always the adventure of crossing the Continental Divide in a bus.
That's an accomplishment, there's a TRIP OF A LIFETIME. The Baja is nice, but
it's still just driving around in a nice old car.
4500 miles will beat me by 1000. I took 35 days. In the Baja you'll be back
in a week.

OK, that article has some element of encouragement, for I too am thinking of
a road trip. No trailer, just taking the Denis "Trip-of-a-lifetime." The CA
Bug-In is Sunday April 6. From April 7 to 11 there is the ultimate in VW
cruises up the Pacific Coast Highway from LA to San Francisco visiting such
places as Pismo Beach, Big Sur and Morrow Bay and returning to Ventura for the
VW Treffen X on Saturday April 12. Sort of along the way I need to make a side
trip to Durango CO. The entire trip would be approximately 4,500 miles. And
no, not in a VW bus, but in the Baja. Should I do it? Well, I am thinking
about it strongly but not sure I want to attempt it or not.
If you are interested in looking at the itinerary for this amazing
once-in-a-lifetime VW cruise go to Airhead Parts web site and look it up
www.airheadparts.com You can also see some details on page 35 of the April
issue of Hot VWs.
