I spent the day driving the South Loop.
450 Porsche miles down Hwy 1 through the Big Sur Coast, looping around through Paso Robles and returning through the Western Autobhan (I5).
First stop at noon, Big Sur - Post Ranch - for lunch. Stunning Pacific views high over the Big Sur cliffs:
After lunch, a great CA Hwy1 drive down the coast - Lucia, San Simeon and Cambria for a fuel stop. From Cambria on to the Wine Highway - Hwy 46 - to Cholame (where the James Dean Memorial is located).

From there on to Hwy 41 (a great road) to I5 and CA152 back to the Bay Area. A great Porsche day!

Oh... and did I say the weather was fantastic? Cool 60s on the coast early on, warming up to mid 70s mid-day, a touch of 99F in the Central Valley (after all we need to feel Summer), cooling off to high 60s approaching the Bay Area on my return.
Just fantastic!
