T wenty nine hours. That’s my window. The office closes at 4PM and I’ve got to be back to SFO at 9PM tomorrow. For now there are zero obligations. No hotel. Just me, some GoPro cameras, blue skies and winding asphalt. That’s all I wanted. Well, that and a clutch pedal. And thanks to !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! my pocket holds the key to a black !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .

I scouted the area on Google maps and planned my route. Highway 9 south to Santa Cruz. That’s a given. The rest is up in the air. I’ll be looking for a place to catch the sunset and snap some shots for !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! while filling my !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! and !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! feed. So go ahead, follow away.

In the off chance you’re in the area or simply want to tag along, drop me a line. Could always use a hand filming!

I wish more of you people lived closer to me up here in the penninsula that is Nova Scotia in Canadialand...I’d love to tag along with my completely-unremarkable-in-any-way-but-has-an-Oppo-sticker 2009 Accent, haha!

:P

I certainly hope that you’re not within 500 miles of coastal southern Cali.

Because uf that be the case and you’re sitting and creeping on the 405, the 5 or any of the other miracles of postwar engineering that makes up SoCal hiway system, you’re going to be right there for next x -hours. Best of luck. Enjoy your visit.

Sounds like you’ll have a good time. I’m interested to know how your experience turns out with Turo. I’ve never heard of it but it sounds like a great way to avoid getting stuck with a horrible, sad rental Jeep Patriot when traveling.
