I don't know how your radio situation turned out but if you guys are using your phone to stream music then you should download the iHeart radio app. There's a funny LA based morning show on 95.5 KLOS from 5:30a to 9:30a. You may also want to download the Offerup app in case you need any emergency e30 parts, it's like craigslist but in an app format.

Looks like you are coming through Palm Beach County, FL later on your journey.

Do not miss Palm Beach Island - it’s one of the nicest drives in FL. Get off or I-95 and go east on Southern Blvd. then head north on FL A-1-A / Ocean Blvd along the beach. Amazing mansions to see, including Mar-a-Lago (however you feel about Trump, Mar-a-Lago is a gem). If you want to see some insanely high-end shops, drive down Worth Avenue.

Conrinue north past The Breakers on N County Road and then head back west on Royal Poinciana Way to get back to I-95 through West Palm Beach.

Let me know if you want restaurant suggestions.

If you're going over Tioga pass and going down hwy 41. Be aware that their is roadwork happening below the south gate of Yosemite, near Oakhurst!
Due to a large wildfire recently on the west gate on 140 their is a possibly of a delay as well. If you do end up in mariposa happy burger is an "interesting" eatery

Otherwise enjoy yourselves going through my neck of the woods! If you have time to take a couple cool back roads PM me and I'll give you my favorites.

Oh yes! Did we decide on a date for a little get together. Personally Friday 21st works best for me, is there anything in the California section?

;D

I chose Fatburger to give you another taste of a local burger joint. In & Out is typical... now when euros say "ahh did you go to In & Out?" you can say, "yea its good, but fatburger is mega" (did I use mega properly this time? LOL)

actually theres a million spots in that giant shopping center, so there will be something for everyone

I will bring a front plate delete for you too

Before I reply to everyone just wanted to say the WiFi at the hotel we have been in the past couple of days just doesn’t work so I can’t get on with my laptop and update with photos but we have had an amazing couple of days and I can not wait to share the pictures with you all.

Tomorrow we are driving from our hotel in mammoth lakes to Monterey which is 295 miles and is going to take just over 6 hours according to maps.

God speed to ya Ben. Thanks for posting up your trip, really cool.

Watch out for all the damn people staring at their phones. Lately I’ve avoided two lane roads because at least once per day somebody drifts over the centerline (oops, centreline) and scares the shit outta me.

Thank you. Honestly it scares and shocks me how much people use there phones out here. It’s crazy. I would never ever contemplate picking up my phone to text someone or call someone whilst driving unless it’s via a hands free device! It is actually something that really pisses me off, is that text message so important that your willing to risk someone else’s life! It’s bad enough putting your own life in danger let alone your own. And don’t get me started when I see people using there phones when they have kids in the back. That’s just straight up fucking dumb!!

Very cool that Ive been to a lot of these spots, and Ive been to that exact lighthouse, and we were in Sonora not too long ago...

Awesome trip. Have a safe drive and we'll see you when you get here

So where are you now? I guess I missed you when you were in Oakland...

Yeah man To be honest I spent minimal time in Oakland we literally just landed there and then left. Sorry man

When you’re going to Monterey look up Freedom meat locker in Watsonville for a BBQ skirt steak sandwich. Best I’ve ever had!

We are actually heading to Monterey tomorrow. It’s 295 mike drive which is going to take over 6 hours so some good food is going to be much needed when we arrive!! I’ve made a note and shall try and hit it up tomorrow. Thanks for the heads up!!

So in for this! I did a similar thing in Europe when I did Euro delivery on my M3, except way less stops. My family did a trip like yours with a camper starting in NJ going to Cali when I was 13.

Good luck too bad you are not going through Chicago, love to meet you!

That’s an awesome little trip! We are having such a good time I love going through more of the back roads and seeing the small towns rather than the bigger towns. I’ve got 2 days worth of updates currently to post but they won’t be tonight and potentially tomorrow depending how I feel when I get to the hotel. I am so behind but I have been taking notes. Just the shitty internet here won’t let me on the WiFi to upload photos and I am getting weak cell signal so I can’t even set up a personal hotspot.

Hell yeah man we went to Santa Cruz it was super nice and chilled! really enjoyed ourselves.



Monterey is coming up in about 3 days and driving all the way down the PCH



The plan is to try and avoid as many interstates as we can and stick to the backroads, obviously this is time dependent.







See you in a few weeks man, we will get a date sorted for a meet!! i have updated my above post with photos and now to go through the rest of them to catch up from the past few days.

Is there any way you can create a google map or something to track your travel history? It would be great to see what back roads you're taking.

Maybe check out Devils Post Pile in at Mammoth, I've never been but heard it was cool.

I am not sure, we have a 3 hour drive today so i will get the Mrs to look into that!!

Oh sweet, just looked into that!! think we shall try and explore there and get to it. trying to find out now the best way to get there.

Looking good! I’d love to do this someday too in my e30.

I just followed you on Flickr - you have some nice images there.

Wishing you safe and enjoyable travels!
