Tuesday 9/20: head north toward Santa Cruz.

Drive thru the Redwoods and back to Santa Cruz for the night.

Wednesday 9/21: leave by 0900 and head up US 1 north along the coast and across the Golden Gate into Muir Wood and Muir Beach then off to Napa.

Spend the afternoon in Napa and overnight.

Thursday 9/22 leave by 0900 to Truckee/Tahoe

Friday /Saturday the Antique Boat Show at Tahoe.

Sunday 9/25 Head south along the east side of the Sierras. Route will depend on whether we want to go to Vegas and see the Shelby Museum or head for Palm Springs for the night before heading to Phoenix.

The return route needs to be decided. I would like to hit Vegas and see the shelby museum, but it's up to the majority. Vicki says she and Gary will be staying in Tahoe for a couple of extra days. The only things that are not negotiable are San Simeon and the Monterey Aquarium. Those have been bucket list items for me for years.
