Pacific Coast Highway 101 runs from southern California to Washington. It’s a very scenic highway, but one that requires the driver's full attention. The road in many places is narrow, windy and hilly. You can expect to negotiate steep grades and sharp curves along most of its length.
UPDATE: We’re Off The Road-Indefinitely?
Some of you may or may not know that back at the end of April 2023 during our seasonal transition from our winter location back to our summer location we encountered an issue with our motorhome that wasn’t expected. During the second day of our travels, we encountered some really rough stretches of I-40 as we transited northern Arizona. Upon our arrival in Gallup, NM for our second night on the road we discovered a structural issue with the coach that forced us to stop to assess the situation.
Pay Attention To The Signs
Almost everyday there are images posted online on the various RVing social media platforms that show a serious accident involving an RV, whether it be a travel trailer, fifth-wheel or some type of motorhome.
Most of these accidents are or were preventable had the owner paid attention to the signs. I’m not talking traffic signs, although there are those incidents that are a direct result of ignoring them as well. The signs I’m referring to are internal – things you or your traveling companion may notice or pick up on.
2017 Rolled To A Close
As another year of our RVing journey rolled to a stop, we drove our motorhome some 7500 miles which is the second shortest out of the four plus years we’ve been full timing. This is in part to client obligations that kept us primarily in the central part of the country. That said, we added 20 RV parks that we had never visited before in 9 different states. Along the way we met lots of new friends and were able to reconnect with many we had met previously.
Summer Travels 2015
It was a crazy summer of RV travel. Five weeks in Wisconsin at the Omro RV Park flew by in the blink of an eye, and then a new travel schedule began in earnest. Our first major business commitment of the season began July 14 – exhibiting at the HobbyTown National Convention in Lincoln, Nebraska on behalf of a longtime client. One week later, we again represented our client at the four-day IPMS National Convention in Columbus, Ohio. Our next big engagement was in Portland, Oregon, where we represented two separate companies at the National Train Show, which began August 28. We put on about 4,200 miles in six weeks.
