 or driving your own car (from where?)
If you are flying and renting, why not fly to Seattle and then come south along the coast all the way to San Francisco?
If you have to return the car to Seattle, just drive up I-5 and if you have a few extra hours swing by Crater Lake.
As for the California coast, it's hard to beat Big Sur/Monterey, etc.
That coastal drive is beautiful--lots to see.
Agree with the southern CA coast suggestions....SR 1 and US 101 in places from Oxnard to SF is hard to beat. You might consider going past SF a bit to the Point Reyes Nat. Seashore area.
For history visit some of the Missions along the way. For scenery from Morro Bay to Monterey and on to Half Moon Bay, fantastic.
Also you pass through the really good wine country if interested in that, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Santa Maria, Carmel VAlley, etc.
If scenery and nature are what you're looking for then heading north is what I'd recommend. Not that the scenery along Highway 1 isn't great -- actually, it's spectacular -- but there's just MORE scenery and nature north of SF.
Point Reyes. Humboldt Redwoods. Eureka. Redwood NP. Crescent City. And wait till you get to the Oregon Coast!! When you get to Washington State, you'll have Mount Saint Helens, Mount Rainier, and Olympic NP.
IMO, the drive from SF to San Luis Obispo (halfway to LA)on Highway 1 is the best scenic drive in the US. If you haven't done it, it's worth it, even if you have to backtrack to San Francisco. It's probably 8 to 10 hours, just to San Luis. I'm a big fan of the northern part of California, and you can make a very nice trip without leaving that half of the State.
If you want to go north, PaulRabe's suggestions are excellent. Humboldt has some of the most spectacular redwoods that you'll ever see. Muir's Woods, right across the Golden Gate also is great for the trees. Mendocino is the only town north along the coast that I really like, and it's a nice stop.Firstly, I moved to Los Angeles about a month ago! I was excited to move, but as the date grew closer, I got a little nervous and wondered if it was the right decision. I had a pretty comfortable life in Orange County — I knew where everything was, I was familiar with my neighbors, and there wasn’t really anything “wrong” about where I was living. But Orange County didn’t inspire me. It felt dull to my senses. It was almost too comfortable — the type of place you might want to retire or go to for a weekend vacation just to relax. Now that I’ve lived in LA for over a month, I am SO glad that I decided to make the trek up here. It’s probably too soon to say, but I think it’s exactly what I needed.
Oh! And a random fact about LA that I think is pretty neat? They banned plastic carry-out bags because they’re bad for the environment. Instead, they encourage people to bring their own reusable bags or be charged 10 cents for a paper bag. Most people bring reusable bags. It’s a small change, but I think it breeds more of an environmental mindset, which is awesome.
I will add, though, that the move took a bit of a toll on me for the first couple weeks. I turned into some sort of Turbo Bitch at first (mainly to Paul…sorry Paul!) and hardly left my house because I didn’t know where anything was and I felt a little overwhelmed and stressed. I realized it’s hard for me when I don’t feel like I have a “home.” That concept was always distorted for me growing up, so moving to new places brings back some negative emotions, I think.
Speaking of negative emotions, I talked to my dad earlier this month — a looong talk that I’ve been needing to do for years. Actually, around October of last year, I started seeing a therapist because I noticed that I had insecurities and negative thought patterns that would play out in certain relationships of mine. I wanted to get to the bottom of them and find strategies to fix them. I honestly think most people should go to therapy, if only because it will help you see why you do the things you do. That’s pretty interesting and useful knowledge, right?
Well, anyways, my therapist was convinced that a lot of the insecurities I had were due to my relationship with my dad over the past ten or so years. In an effort to make things right, my dad and I hashed it out at park one afternoon. During our conversation, there was a lot of anger, sadness, frustration, and tears on both ends, but I think we made progress and I am so glad I finally did it. My dad is a big guy (he’s 6’5″!) and can be very intense. I can only think of one other time in my life that I’ve really seen him cry, but watching him open up to me gave me a lot of hope for our relationship. I also feel like I’ve bottled a lot of my emotions and it was liberating to finally let them breath. I’m looking forward to a fresh start together.
Last “big” update? I decided to go dairy-free this week. I have gotten occasional breakouts pretty much all my life and now that I’m 25, it’s tiring to sometimes feel like a puberty-stricken teenager. I wanted to see if quitting dairy would help, so I’ve been cold turkey since Tuesday and I’d definitely say I’m seeing results. I’m going to keep trying this diet for at least a couple more weeks, but I’ll be sharing the low-down with you soon!
Dynacorn Classic Bodies currently offers complete body shells for both the 1967 and the 1969-1970 Ford Mustangs, providing a platform for custom vehicle projects like Vaughn Gittin Jr’s Mustang RTR-X and the Agent 47 Harbinger Mustang. Last year it looked like they would be offering a body shell for the 1965-966 Mustang after they displayed a prototype body shell in their booth at SEMA last year, but the body had yet to be licensed by Ford and Dynacorn wouldn’t offer additional details on when that might happen.
It looks like we’ll have our answer in just a few weeks, as a new video from Ford hints that a licensed 1965-1966 body shell will make its debut at SEMA in Las Vegas next month. Ford is coy about exactly what is being shown in the video, although it clearly shows a classic Mustang body. “We are looking at a product that’s going to be introduced in the next couple weeks at the SEMA show in Las Vegas,” says Ford Restoration and Licensing Manager Dennis Mondrach in the video. “We think it’s very special, very exciting. We think the public is going to enjoy it just as much.”
You can see the video below, as well as photos of the Dynacorn body shell that was on display at SEMA last year.
