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.

Mega Road Trip California 2025

I am on a Mega Road Trip for 2025. Most importantly this podcast covers my trip from the desert, mountains and beaches. Details in Mega-Road-Trip-2025-Bob Davis Podcast 1159.

Take Your Your Time On A Roadtrip

In the first place I’ve learned doing Roadtrips with hell bent for leather travel isn’t so great.

Low and Slow

Most importantly if the traveler has the time low and slow is the way to go.

2 Months From California to Oregon

For example I plan on taking almost two months to get to the California-Oregon border.

Furthermore I plan on taking the same approach to Oregon and Washington if possible.

Desert Mountain Beaches

Generally this podcast covers my trip for the deserts in Eastern California, to the mountains about thirty miles from San Diego and ultimately to the beaches south of Los Angeles.

History

Certainly there is history involved.

Spanish California

That is to say that the purpose I’ve selected for this trip is to learn more about the Mission System in California dating back to the Spanish.

Jedediah Smith

Even more one of the historical figures I am interested in is Jedediah Smith.

By all means Smith blazed many trails in his life.

Southern Route

But perhaps the most important exploration he accomplished was to find the southern route to California.

With this purpose in mind Smith was both saved and incarcerated by the Spanish at the mission at San Gabriel and at the Presidio in San Diego.

In Mega-Road-Trip-2025-Bob Davis Podcast 1159 I tell that story.

But there’s more.

Mountain and Beach Campgrounds

All in all I got to spend some time at superb mountain campgrounds and on the Beach at Carlsbad, California.

Just The Beginning

Finally it’s amazing to me that I am only a short way into this Mega Roadtrip for 2025.

Follow My Progress

So follow my progress as I head north and eventually east to Wisconsin.
