We got the motel reservations; Shirley is warming up to the idea of taking the roadster on this trip. (In the Serpent Express of course). We are going to Oregon first, then CA. So, it's a bit of towing. But then, it's advertising as well.
Your trip along the CA coast looks really great; can't wait!!
The train ride and BBQ will no doubt be the highlight:
Hope to see you soon!
