Perfect Pacific Vibe

Firstly my trip up the Pacific Coast Highway is a continuation of the Mega Road Trip for 2025. That is to say I am taking the scenic route on my way back to Wisconsin from the California Deserts. Details in Perfect-Pacific-Vibe-Bob Davis Podcast 1160.

Review Of The RoadTrip So Far

Secondly for review listen to Podcast 1159. Here’s the Link.

Yes There is Video

In addition both the video versions of these podcasts are available at the Bob Davis Podcasts YouTube Channel.

Stunning

What’s more the scenery is stunning.

Death Valley To The Coast

By all means there’s plenty of information about what routes I took from Death Valley to the coast.

And on up the coast to the Redwoods.

Show and Share

Thirdly I do not tell listeners ‘how’ so much in these podcasts and on the video channel as I show and share the experience.

Bucket List

Nevertheless many people include a trip down the Pacific Coast Highway on their so called ‘Bucket Lists’.

That being said I don’t do bucket lists.

In fact I have been up and down this highway more than once in the last few years.

Never Disappoints

To be sure the Pacific Coast Highway never disappoints.

Happy Accidents

But a planned camping trip threw a wrench into the plans to continue the trip up the full length of the PCH from Santa Barbara.

Even though I put a lot of time into maps and planning some happy accidents made a huge difference in the star crossed nature of this trip.

Getting Lost Is Winning

Accordingly getting lost and finding campgrounds that were deserted and free completely by accident made this trip one for the books.

BackRoads and Coastal Campgrounds

Correspondingly finding backroads and mountain roads with incomparable views was a feature.

With this in mind I don’t know if I could tell listeners and subscribers just how I got to a place.

Given these points it’s really all about getting there and now how.

Life Lessons

To put it differently many lessons on the road often turn out to be great life lessons too.

Perfect Beach Towns

By all means its important to hold space for those happy accidents that lead to the sublime.

Overall many listening to Perfect-Pacific-Vibe-Bob Davis Podcast 1160 who have been traveling themselves for any length of time will identify with this idea.

Especially since time and again I found myself in a campground or circumstance that literally took my breath away.

Why California?

Finally people often ask me why I wanted to spend so much time in California this year.

Basically California is one of the most unique places in the US and maybe even the world.

Obviously and certainly it’s expensive and Golden Staters themselves think it’s weird.

But all things considered this is still one of the the best road trips I have been on.

Privacy-Profound Experiences-Bob Davis Podcast 823

These days we live in a world where our first reaction to an amazing experience is to share it. Does sharing the intimate, profound and sublime degrade their value? Learn more in Privacy-Profound Experiences-Bob Davis Podcast 823.

Over Sharing

We’re talking about your shots from Coachella or Burning Man but also pics and posts from the hospital where grandma is dying. Rants about bad service from restaurants and crazy neighbors. Beat down videos on You Tube.

Intimacy and Privacy

Especially relevant are those sublime and sometimes profound human experiences. Intimate experiences. Is it possible that sharing those experiences cancels out the integrity of the moment? Find out why I say this in Privacy-Profound Experiences-Bob Davis Podcast 823.

What Is Special

Furthermore to be intimate is to be private. Certainly there’s a lot of talk these days about privacy. In contrast look at all the people taking selfies at that amazing concert, or taking videos at the beach at sunset or the Grand Canyon.

Ours Alone

What would happen if all these most noteworthy experiences remained ours and ours alone? I think we as human beings have profound and exceptional experiences, or witness these kinds of interactions all the time.

Friends Keep Secrets

Finally what do you call someone who keeps your secret? A friend. Can we keep our own secrets?

Our Unique Experiences Become Content

Above all our personal experiences shared out to social media, become the property of FaceBook, Twitter, Instagram or other platforms. By extension they become the property of the world. We lose the pristine nature of those experiences. We turn something unique and hard to define into a mass experience.

Restoring Integrity

In conclusion, I’m not saying don’t share at all. What I am saying is maybe we save some intimate experiences for ourselves, alone. And by doing so restore some of the integrity society seems to have lost.
