12 days in April starting from Las Vegas

This "Road Turtle" thing... I wish I had saved the article with this words in. Are you familiar with 'cat's eye's?

Yes, AZ Buck sent a photo he captured in the UK with the cheery words "Cat's Eyes Removed" -- so I guess someone might call those dots "road turtles" -- The trademarked name here in the states "Bott's Dots" named after the guy you invented them here.

The article I read was saying in some places at Big Sur if you drive North/South you would be really close to the edge of the road and passenger's may feel reassurred if the driver kept nearer the centre of the road?

I would call that silly propaganda --- the safest place to drive is the center of the driving lane. Period. There are some drop-offs seen from this road, and one does have to drive carefully, but it is not really that dangerous a road.

we have decided to travel from Las Vegas, then stay somewhere in the Los Angeles area. Then travel South/North and stop at Pismo Beach,we decided not to stay in SF but get to Bodega Bay

Bodega Bay is a pretty place -- but I am curious how and why you chose that? How much time are you allowing to drive from Bodega Bay to Las Vegas to fly home?
