Very cool! That looks like an awesome trip. There is a lot of very cool stuff in Portland: Powell's books food trucks psycho donuts The rismksy korsacoffee house If you are into Mead, last time I was there Arcata had about five different meaderies There are several of us Bay Area PDMLers. If you need a base of operations down in the Santa Cruz mountains, let me know. Depending on timing, it will either be very convenient or a bit crowded at our house. There is going to be a dance camp at my house over Memorial Day weekend (May 22-27) But afterwards it'll still be all set up for hosting lots of visitors. The drive from SF to Ojai looks like it goes down 101. There is some spectacular scenery a bit west of there, heading down hwy 1. Though it does take a bit longer to drive. In Ojai, definitely check out the open air book store. > It's going to be a hectic 6 weeks with only 1-2 night stop-overs > along the way.
