This Merkur XR4Ti did a scary job keeping up with us in the twisties
Early morning "Norcal" caravan
Blue masking tape seemed to be the rage this year
Classic BMWs
Even a YELLOW 850
Porsches were there in force too
997TTs everywhere
J and I separated from the caravan to make a visit at Hearst Castle but not before stopping in Big Sur for some yummy quiche
Early morning's mist
More stunning scenery

Overlooking the Pacific
Which dominates?
What a pair!
Long way down the highway
Snapshot anyone?
A little touch of color
Blue haze
Elephant seals napping
The long lonely highway and a 997TT
Hearst Castle

Our tour guide
The massive pool area
Some of the many ornately decorated bedrooms
My favorite floral arrangement
One of many elegant statues
I loved this indoor pool
New vs old
State Street in Santa Barbara at dusk
We visited the Nethercutt Museum in Sylmar, CA too

Bimmerfest 2008
I really liked this color on this M3
One of the attendees posing for me
Which looks better?
Or this?
I think these were almost as big as mine
I thought this M3 was very tastefully done
A new idea to evade the cops?

Taking a break from driving through one of the 10 most beautiful roads in North America, Mission Road going through the Hunter Liggett military reservation
Hwy 1 can be seen in the distance
Lone Cobalt beast
On the road again
The Cobalt Twins
Crossing the Golden Gate Bridge into Mill Valley
Stopping in Mendocino, CA again
Interesting track car
Well prepped too

My car sans one tailight
Dining room
One of the funny sights I saw on the way home
Finally making it back to Washington after a long stint through Oregon nonstop
And for those of you that were wondering about whether I really drove home without a tailight. No, I didn't want to risk it so when I stopped for gas in Crescent City, CA I managed to find a temporary metric screw to hold the tailight
into place for the trip home. I just picked her up earlier today after all repairs and checkups were made and she's resting in my garage now. I hope to upload some more videos soon.

James,
Ironically, I had one..but didn't have it on the lens. Go figure...thanks for the suggestion though. I'll try to use it next time. I used 4 different cameras on this trip alone.

After a long trip like that, I'd probably say the hell with it too and just shoot.....
