Hey Tim,you probably remember the big rock at Morro Bay. During WW11 the army hung rope nets off of it to train the troops how to get on and off ships.My Father was one of them.Did you hit the Hearst Castle?

Incredible over the top castle.

Thinking of another "perfect cruise" ... I was lucky enough to visit Europe with my dad back in '87. He went there for "work" and needed a driver, I volunteered

I spent 3 weeks driving thru many countries on many different types of roads.

Favorite: Autobahn @ 150mph
Strangest: roundabouts in U.K.

I've done the Hwy 49 through Cool before, a really nice ride. If I remember right there's a few hairpin turns on the road as well. Fall is a great time since there's some color change going on...
