therock Supersonic October 12, 2019 Author Share October 12, 2019 (edited) Redwoods National Park is actually a long strip of small parks assimilated together you can choose one of many small seaside towns to stay in and drive to them but take note of the distances. Most will do the Avenue of the Giants Drive which is down in Eureka but the Newton Drury scenic route is very nice too. Take your time!! Don’t do the CHAN brothers refugee style travel and cover ten places in a day. Edited October 12, 2019 by therock 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still planning route and itinerary Hey bro Look up Big Sur Carmel and the scenic drive Santa Monica and Marina del Ray The rest will be in your guide books. My journey ends where you start sadly.. I’m not doing as much in SF - been there a few times.. the typical stuff are already in your travel guides, eg the Golden Gate, Alcatraz and the piers If you have time eg three days or more, I highly recommend a side trip to Yosemite please please don’t try and do it in one $&@“! day trip ya ... Bring warm clothes and stay outside the park if you need to save $$ but I prefer inside I’ve slept in the meadows in a tent, a lodge in Camp Curry and a nice room at Brideveil Falls and the softest nicest smelling bed was the grass in the meadows, but do that when you are young 😆 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
therock Supersonic October 12, 2019 Author Share October 12, 2019 Setting a rabbit : when driving long distances in USA do remember to watch that speed.. cops are in ambush especially after a downhill slope or a corner find a car ahead who looks local and is traveling at a decent clip go up to the speed limit and exceed speed by up to 5 mph max.. then use your adaptive cruise control to set the Distance you want to keep from him and set it up so when he slows down, so will your car 🚗 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
therock Supersonic October 12, 2019 Author Share October 12, 2019 I noticed that in the blog entry I’m a “madman” to do this in a CHR.. hmm actually it’s a great little car which handles well and has the right balance to handle bad roads and long curving highways but I won’t try it with our 1.2l turbo which I feel has shorter legs .. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a suggestion bro do the reverse usa offers two bags of 23 kg each even for economy if you fly home via Canada you only get 23kg theres more tax in Canada and the flight is longer furthermore it gets colder up north - by going south you get warmer and more acclimatized to home lastly the best malls are in USA so keep the car for the jump in bags when your wife finishes helping the US economy 😉 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The top part should be joining tour there as never drive so far on snow covered roads before, while doing self drive for the rest. Weather wise have to cater from -10 dc all the way to about 20 dc haha. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
