My goodness. Time to get back on the road, all right.

Thanks for your gifts.

In the early '70s I was attached to SAMSO at LAX for flying. If there was enough daylight left, I would take the PCH from LAX up to around Malibu, then angle northeast through the mountains going home to the western end of the SF valley. I would arrive home about a half hour later, but much more refreshed, than if I had used 405 and the Ventura Freeway. If I didn't have the time, I would cut off the PCH at Topanga Canyon and go into the Valley that way. First time was breathtaking. By the third year or so it looked commonplace.

In 1970, my final year in the army, we drove Hwy. 1 from Monterrey (Ft. Ord) south to the Hunter-Liggett Military Reservation up in the hills west of King City. Spectacular drive, as was the drive from Hwy. 1 up through the coast range to the base. A few years later my parents, on their first ever real vacation, drove Hwy. 1 all the way from San Diego to Seattle to visit my dad's brother. They made that drive in an old rattle trap station wagon that eventually burned up on them on their way back to Kansas. This happened in the southern California desert but they managed to hitch a ride with a truck driver headed east. He dropped them off right in front of their house in NE Kansas.
