What a beautiful state we have...

Just got back from vacation in San Diego. We drove from San Mateo all the way down to Oceanside in a day. We took I-5 down and then 101 back after a night in Oxnard (not much there). LA traffic is indeed the worst I've ever experienced.

With the single exception of a cow factory somewhere in the middle of I-5, everywhere I drove was just gorgeous. Mountains, coastline, valleys, all of it. I'm pretty sure I want to end up on the central coast off El Camino Real. Places like Santa Barbara, Atascadero, Paso Robles, San Luis Obispo, Ventura all have what I want in a landscape and climate.

Count me in for any GTG on the central coast!

If you guys can coax Dwayne out of hiding, we should do another bar-b-q with his famous tri-tip somewhere along the coast.

Glad to see your trip went well!
