It's all good. We'll meet up with you and Martin one of these days and we'll bar all cats from the campground.

I go grocery shopping and out to dinner and the RVMs come to life... Woot!

Welcome to the newest Mutants and their feathered and fur faced family.

We are starting to get a little east coast thing going. CT, PA, MD, VA, etc. This may work well for that pre-Mutants to Maritimes GC to occur somewhere south of the border next year!

Would love to see Mac and Rhett meet up.

----------
Russ and Mera I'm really glad Dave and Nola were able to visit you. You sure have a great gig with the trains and museum. Hope to meet you soon!

If'n you are in a hurry, yep, but if you can take your time, the 1, or 101 when they combine is much more scenic.

I will spare you the details.

Started north of Eureka, CA on US 101

Followed to State Road 20 and headed west to Ft.Bragg

At Ft. Bragg turned south on CA 1

Stayed on it until State Road 116 and turned east

Sitting in Petaluma, CA for 4 nights (Napa and San Fran trips)

IF you have ridden this route in a car, imagine doing it in a 40' MH w/ tow. A road wide enough for 1 4/5 MHs, switchbacks 5 to the mile, cliffs 1/2 the time with no guard rails. Feared meeting some "middle-of-the-roader" coming around one of the blind curves. White knuckles galore.

I don't think we were supposed to be on that section of road in a MH.

Made the short ride from Port Hueneme to Camp Pendleton South, Del Mar Beach Resort and we did it different. We took Highway 1 to Santa Monica, then the 10, 405, and 5. We had some stop and go traffic around Santa Monica and I was expecting worse traffic on the other highways but it didn't happen. Smooth sailing. However, the 5 Northwas backed up for 20 miles. No kidding, 20 miles.

Nice to see GD's again.

WOW. Talk about a white knuckler! Thanks to the Great Mutant in the Sky that you lived to tell about it ....

You would have a mountain pass at the Oregon/California border that could have snow. We've encountered it when in our car.

Jan of 2014 we traveled from Kennewick WA through OR, ID, UT (I-84) following I-15 to Vegas and then on to Yuma AZ. We had snow off the sides of the road in Northern UT but none on the roads themselves except for a bad snowstorm in OR near Baker City.

There is really no answer because it will just depend on the weather. If you keep a close watch on it, you could always hold up a few days until the passes are cleared. Then again, you may make it right on thru without any problem which ever way you go.

Sorry that is not much help.

I've driven quite a bit of PCH amd 101 over the years in various cars. Doing it the motorhome with or w/o toad isn't on my to do list.

Next time ya get us some aged firewood - the rest of the story!
