Whats up beyond,
I'm planning a road trip .. just want to hit the highway and drive, I have a 4 day weekend spanning Mar 25 through 28 so I'm going to leave on March 24 and plan to return April 3. (11days)
So, I'm asking if anybodys game for tagging along or if anybody can give suggestions on sites to see. As far as traffic violations, I've heard so long as you pay the ticket (accross the border) you don't receive demerits on your record in Calgary .. this true?
It's going to be a LOT of driving, heres my plan so far ::
Thursday March 24 : Depart Calgary 6AM
Destination: Vancouver BC. ETA 5 or 6pm (12hours driving) Depending on the highway conditions. I'm hoping to meetup with some Vancouverpreludeclub.com members and maybe have a mini Prelude meet. I really want to check out the night life and club scene in Van. Can't stay out too too late though, need sleep for another big day of driving.
Sleeping at (TBA)
Friday March 25 : Depart Vancouver 9am
Destination: 6pm Coos Bay, Oregon (9-10hours driving)
I heard Coos Bay is a cool little surf town on the coast. I'll be taking highway 101, its a big longer than I5 but I want the scenary and windy roads. Majority of this trip will be spent going directly down the west coast from Vancouver forward. Coos Bay, I want to go surfing for a couple of hours before I head on down to San Fran .. this is where my trip isn't quite planned .. Temperature says +12 degrees high is the regular for April 1, probably too chilly to do some surfing, we'll see..
Sleeping at (TBA)
** Not entirely planned from here **
Saturday March 26: Depart Coos bay.
Destination: ?San Francisco? I'm hitting a couple of the message boards (bayareaprelude.com preludeonline.com socalprelude.com) to help me finalize the rest of the trip.
Sunday - check out Norcal, napa, golden gate bridge?
Monday - A bit more sight seeing, .. not sure where, gotta get some surfing in somewhere .. maybe socal, maybe tomorrow..
Tuesday, goto Socal. see beverly hills, la, hollywood?
Wednesday, Long beach, Orange County, San Diego
Thursday VEGAS BABY!
Friday VEGAS BABY! - goto grand canyon?
Saturday - NV / Grand Canyon to somewhere between there and home.. (North Lip)
Sunday - Last stretch home.
I'll just edit this post as I get more details ....
Any thoughts? Anybody wanting to tag along?
