You know, I had the most incredibly frustrating drive up the California coast once. It really sucked.
It was a work trip. I started off in Carlsbad. Spent a day with suppliers, until seven at night. Went back to the motel, packed my crap, and drove two hundred miles north to find another motel. Crashed. Woke at five, repeat the previous day with different suppliers. Did that for six days in a row, it was exhausting. I saw the road signs for many cool places in Cali, should have taken pictures of them.
Drove from Carlsbad to San Francisco.
