Driving up the coast on the 1
 
Just got back from a quick trip up to Monterey. Took the 101 to the 1 in San Luis Obispo. The 1 is an incredible drive in a topless S. Good times!

I did this drive in March last year. I didn't have the Boxster S yet but it was still a beatiful drive. Started from 17 to Santa Cruz and headed south on 1 all the way to Cambria. Spent the night there, went to Hurst Castle. On the way back from Cambria I took the "Santa Rosa Creek road" to Hwy 46. it's a long twisty back road thru secluded farmland and hillside scenery. Very nice road to drive. You should have at least 2 cars when doing this drive since the road is so secluded.

great drive.

we were in santa barbara, and thought it would be a good idea to take the 1 home. BAD idea. took it all the way to monterey

it was soo tiring. its great to be the passenger though : )

I think what you did is the best, you get the scenery, and the nice twisties, and about the right amount of it. our drive was just NUTS!

Gerry. Home boy. Let's do it.

When I did that drive i was in the lexus so it wasn't as fun.

I'm jealous. I lived in the SF Bay Area for 15 years, I had my 914, but not my Boxster or my M3. Driving in the Santa Cruz mountains and on Hwy. 1 was simply incredible. I used to take the 914 up to Mendocino in the late '80's, I'd drive the whole way from Marin up to Mendocino on Hwy. 1, a fantastic winding drive for hours on end. I'd love to take the Boxster on the same route, but that might be a bit of a long drive from here in Phoenix....

hey cas, for sure we will do it as soon as I obtain my kitchen pass for 08' spring/summer this weekend :D

How about April. My wife will be in Thailand for 2 weeks. That should count for a 2 week pass right?

unklekraker 02-15-2008 12:02 PM

I think april sounds good. :cheers:

we'll work on the details as it get closer..

Monterey to Cambria/San Luis gives me anxiety like im gonna fall over the cliffs hahaha... and driving it alone...ya feel like im in a horror movie where some redneck inbred nuclear hills that have eyes are gonna pop my tires and attack me out on the lonely road :ah: haha...

But i'll be down for the drive :cheers:

bigb 02-16-2008 06:09 PM

April's too far guys. Let us have a practice drive sooner ;)

unklekraker 02-20-2008 06:18 AM

I've earned my kitchen pass this weekend and after my moved and get settled, we need to do a practice drive up there!

NorCal/Bay Area owners, get your thinking hat on!

Oak Creek Canyon on 89 is nice. Yeah it will never beat CA 1 but hey, you're a long ways away! Man I do miss CA 1. I spent hours on it.
