re: the PCH.
Hubby was driving a Forest Service firetruck there sometime in the 70s when he was passed by a tire and hub assembly. At the same time, he realized that said tire and hub had come off of one of the rear axles of his firetruck. After several seconds of very careful driving, he found a turn off.
I pretty much trust him driving anything, when his drugs aren't playing with his brain.
I love the PCH too! But I have to be the driver otherwise I get the motion sickness.
Yes, this. I don't get ill on the bike, but I remember feeling a bit iffy in a car.
re: Hwy 1/PCH: I'm going to miss the Devil's Slide part once they finish the bypass. At least it'll be open for foot traffic.
I have many happy memories of driving along HWY 1 and looking at the ocean and even getting queasy and not minding it a bit because it was so beautiful. As kids we'd beg my parents to take PCH when we went on vacation, and my mom hated it because she had a terrible fear of heights. She'd insist on driving because it helped take her mind off the huge cliffs dropping down to the sea.
for some reason the PCH doesn't bug me -- but lots of other much narrower roads with switchbacks and cliffs have me convinced that we are going to die.
juliana, I know you probably prefer open air and ocean, but Mr. Jane and I took a ride just west of Dallas down these little country back roads (the weather was above 70 a week ago) with leafy trees and pastures. Beautiful and I thought you would love it.
Thanks guys. I posted in Beep Me and then promptly fell asleep for several hours.
But I'm back at home where they have internet! Being in the hospital was like being on an airplane...for four days. Without even airplane food.
Glad you are home Raq, hope you are feeling better. Oooodles of ~ma.
Quick healing ~ma, Raq and coping ~ma for the boy.
Glad you're home Raq. Here's to a speedy recovery for you, and calmness for Mal.

Oooooh, I like those, too. Thanks for thinking of me!
