Thanks a ton for the link. I found a lot of information here.

WE might have to do part of the coast, i guess just to show my mom.


That surely helps, Judy.


We have been Seattle & have covered all that you mentioned. Remember, we even met you for...

This is a fairly commonly discussed topic in the forum. You can search for more details. But you could take 101N into Solvang, enjoy what this quiet Danish town has to offer. Continue N & take hwy1...

Thanks for the response, kestrel. By routes, I meant the kind of roads I will encounter? Any mountain passes that would slow me down(between Vancouver & Banff)? Any construction along the way? Any...

It has been a long time since we found time to travel to an unknown place. My family(includes a 1 yr old) has decided to drive to Vancouver from San Francisco(south bay area to be exact).
We have...

aaawww! I just wish I could take that kind of break & see the East coast.
You guys have fun now.

cool

Mark,
Last year I had mentioned a 10 day pregnant-trip to NV, UT & AZ. I posted it here. May be it crossed your mind. Anyway, it does seem so long ago!!!
We are blessed with a crawling baby girl...

Having an eight month old has turned out to be more 'less-traveling' than I'd imagined. But we have 4 days of Christmas vacation. ie 25th- 28th that we thought we would spend in the sunny side of...

Man o Man. Your butt should have hurt. 800+ miles every single day for 9 days!
I am sure you have a lot more tales to tell. Rain or shine, rise & shine, eh?
Kudos to you, seriously.

Gruff,
Yosemite is a good 4-5 hr drive from SF. If you start early, you can try to be in Yosemite for lunch. There are innumerable options to stay in side the Yosemite valley. You can check the NPS...

I am doing half of your trip(Eureka & back) in 3 days(same long weekend). Mission Humbolt!
I've been to that area a couple times & so a definite "yes"(imo) for advance lodging reservations during a...

You have not mentioned your route, but I can mention a few places in the Sedona area.
1. It is at an elevation of 4000 ft or so. 89 from Flagstaff get you through some beautiful country.
We had to...

Count me in too. Some pics, if available would be great!

I would agree 100% with Mark here. We drove the 17 miles in a rental car-Pontiac G6 in December 2007 and we were fine. You might want to take it real slow, if you go. For most parts, the speed limit...

A little less than a year we took this ferry ride with Major Marine tours.
I generally do not get seasick. But that day, I did.
It was rather a cold day. Once I froze my hands off taking some...

Thanks, Judy! We have such plans too! I am sure mine is going to be a travel baby. :-)

If I were you, I'd head North. But then again, I am not a big fan of "dry heat".

Summer also brings thunderstorms, so, it may not be "that" hot after all. I remember our trip to Arches National...

It is probably our last trip as a couple(before we become a family).So, we took a few days off from routine to just unwind & soak in nature.
A friend had recommended this place to us: Redcrest...

I was just amazed by your shots, Henrik.

The site was a little slow, so could not check your profile. I would love to know what camera you own, even better, if you use PS for post-processing....

I agree we missed out on the cemetery, but we did not have an option unless we stayed there for the night. We barely had 5 hrs until sunset & really, I am not a big fan of visiting a cemetery at...

Apparently, yes. I have not stopped by even at 1 Flying J.


That is good news. I may not use it this time, but will surely consider this option if there is one nearby. Thanks.

I just came across this site just now. How safe are these places for a couple hrs sleep & a shower early morning? Any experiences?

If weather.com is right, Yosemite is expecting snow on 4th & 5th. Hopefully, it does not warm up too much after that. If so, Tioga may close on those days.

We are just back from a short road trip to Reno, Virginia city & Carson City, NV.
Reno was real fun as it had been a long time we'd been to Vegas(No way comparable in size).
I'd recommend the river...

We are pretty much stuck as where to go this yr for thanksgiving :-(

As of now, we have plans to drive up to Reno via Sacramento(from South bay);
With 1 day at Virginia city(railroad any good?) &...
