I'm in the midst of our driving vacation to California and it's been great thus far. The 1997 boxster in which we are travelling has been VERY dependable... even in Arizona temps of 106 degrees. No overheating and little to no oil burning whatsoever at 2500 miles thus far!

The drive up PCH (Hwy 1 in California) was SPLENDID, especially the 2 hours of spirited back and forth driving around curves north of San Simeon to Monterey Bay. Outrageous driving experience! The mid engine really shined and I pushed every single driver ahead of me to the side of the road and no one could keep up!

Yosemite was also filled with twisties and yeilded hours and hours of driving fun!

Below are two pics. One is me by the box on a Pacific Coast Highway turnout, and the other is a shot of the boxster in Yosemite today.

Tomorrow we leave early (4 am) for Las Vegas to beat the heat in Death Valley. Then it's off to the Grand Canyon for a look at America's biggest hole. I'll post more pix later, but though you all would like to have a quick pictoral update.

My car and this road trip rocks!
