I'm from Salinas (and Toro/Corral) When I went to school @ Poly in SLO - I'd drive up/down HWY 1 all the time. The tires I had on the 2002 lasted ~ 18,000 miles. I still miss them (Goodyear Euro Eagle NCT). I used to leave ~ 11pm (heading either north or south) for going home or to school. I got it down to taking only ~20 minutes more time for HWY 1 vs the time it would take on HWY 101 (door to door). It's amazing how much fun that road can be at midnight with absolutely no traffic. :D |

I went through ROTC there and eventually received an active Army Commission upon graduation. On my trips back and forth it was pretty much a wash if I hit traffic just right on the PCH. Otherwise if I had to leave during daylight hours I took Hwy 17 right by your Toro Park, then busted over to 101 through Spreckels. Too many cops on that stretch though, particularly around King City, so I always preferred The 1. And although it wasn't until after I graduated from SLO, I also ran NCT's on my 944 mated to BBS rims. I went through 3 sets of them and was able to milk about 20k miles out of each set. Great rubber with fantastic grip. I was sorry when they were discontinued. Anyway, in many ways it really is a small world. |
I went to UC Santa Barbara for a year... Unfortunately didn't have a car, otherwise I would have headed up to SLO and the do the PCH drive up through Big Sur at least a couple times.

It's funny you guys mention SLO as that was one of the places I stayed before the last blast down to L.A. Stayed the night in some hostel. After 2-3 days on the road sleaping in my tent it was time for a shower.

Of course, within 40 minutes of the beach cabin is Sand Lake ORV park where you can have fun zooming around on the dunes with one of these (It took me about 2 yrs off and on to make this, Roadstergal was a big help wit it): |
I'm going to hold you to your offer to head back down this spring. :D
