Remembering Ohio George . This car is in the vault along with all the other cars I post till probably tomorrow. Or basically if it looks like it's in a parking garage it is the vault.

Here is the last car that Margie , Robert E. Peterson owned .

From L.A. I would consider a trip up 101 to Monterey where I agree Laguna Seca may be worth a visit, but more to drive 17-mile road along the coast and the Pebble Beach golf (and seaside, and mansion) areas, visit the Monterey Bay Aquarium, and have a walk and ocean-front dinner along Cannery Row which is their pretty-good effort at having a tourist experience that connects to the 1945 John Steinbeck novel which is no masterpiece but an amusing view. Drive around San Francisco to see the scenes alternately breath-taking and disgusting and you have walk the Golden Gate Bridge out and back which I've done a half-dozen times and would do a half-dozen again in any weather. Napa Valley may be worth visiting...once..., and definitely the Skunk Train in Fort Bragg, and Hwy 1 through the Redwoods.

California history is unique to the nation in the way it existed and was settled and developed, is much of the reason I stay here in spite of what the current political majority wants it to be (whoops no politics), and you'd want to read-up on everything you visited as much as possible.

These were at the Peterson museum. I'm just so tired. Going to put the rest of the interesting shots from there up tomorrow.

Had to go down to the Santa Monica pier . It's the official end of RT. 66 . Really wasn't too bad for weird people . I'll put up pics tonight.

east bay - mothball fleet as you drive to Tahoe. Go north to almost Oregon and the Redwood forest... both of which will help you scale the people... I still believe Yosemite is America's best national park...

the people... yeah. I wouldn't go to Fisherman's Wharf because of the dirty people... but I've seen it, and I'd say you need to see it once.... but I have zero plans about going back

You going to get the audio tour? Its been a LONG time since I have been there (it was a common activity when we had visitors) but they had a ticket where you got a walkman and headphones and could do your own pace tour

I think we'll do the audio tour . We've knock out everything in LA that we wanted to do. No offense to anyone that lives here but , there is just too many people and traffic for me . Fortunately I had Paula navigating with Google maps and all I had to do is drive. I will say that per the amount of car that people seem to drive pretty well.. The big shocker is that just about everywhere you go they charge you 20 and up to park . More later . Yes we plan on hitting that crazy ladies house,SBG . Were flying out of San Francisco a week from Sunday so we're doing great time wise. Biggest disappointment was not being able to really geat out and see the observatory because the were charging 10 bucks an hour to park a mile down hill from the place with the spots in the parking lot going for how's how much . I understand the problem is too many cars and people wanting to do the same thing....but while I could pay, I have my limits to what it's worth for me . If we had done the mile walk , I figure an hour each way and at least an hour up there . Nope . And the Barbara Stanwyck' house you can see really unless you come when they are giving tours Too many trees in the way. Later.
