decided to spend most of the day driving around northern california.
for those of you folks familiar with the place, i took 92 from san mateo to half moon bay,
then highway 1 to santa cruz, cut across the mountains thru 152, then up 101 from gilroy.
weather was about 55-65 degrees /f up and down the coast, so open-window-driving was possible.
sometimes a good long drive is all it takes to decompress.

I have done both of those drives when I lived in the Bay Area and loved it. Sounds like a great day. Very jealous.

Nice drive! Thanks for sharing
The wife and I are planning to drive along the 101 to Santa Barbara, Pismo Beach and finally to San Luis Obispo. Love that area! I'll post some pics next week.

I need to do something like this. My catch 22 is that I'd like to take my son, which would mean no spirited driving and that would SUCK! hahaha Might end up getting more stress build up once I'm done.

Great pics dok. I think I've asked before, but what does your license plate mean? I forgot.
