Jackie, I going to guess (and apologies if I'm wrong) that you took the Old Priest Grade Road which is dodgy. The New Priest Grade Road (CA120) isn't so bad.

I believe you are correct. It's the only road I've ever been on that has a sign warning you to turn the car's aircon off as it reduces power to the engine :eek:
It was very scenic thogh, at least what I could see through the gaps between my fingers

In my life ive been in many hairy situs and even to this day im not sure how ive come through them in one piece and through out i kept a cool head. However put me on the first rung of a step ladder and i turn to jelly, in other words i dont do heights at all.
I'm the same re stepladders, but forewarned is forearmed and all that Everything will be alright in the end so, if it’s not yet alright, it means it’s not yet the endQuidquid Latine dictum sit altum videtur0 -
Further down the coast San Luis Obispo is another lovely town - we stayed at the slightly bonkers Madonna Inn http://www.madonnainn.com/ Every room has a different theme, it has a popular (if expensive) restaurant and the pool is lovely. San Luis has some realy interesting independant restuarants - it's on my list of places to spend more time in when we next visit.
We also stayed here it was different, but yes, expensive.......0 -
I think we are set on bakersfield as the hotels seem cheap as it was only going to be a sleep stop prior to moving on to LALive each day like its your last because one day you'll be right0

You'll probably get a better deal and a more pleasant stay at a motel on the outskirts than somewhere in the town centre.I think we are set on bakersfield as the hotels seem cheap as it was only going to be a sleep stop prior to moving on to LA
I'd also advise scouting the area using StreetView mode of Google Maps."Such an enormous country, you realize when you cross it" - Jack Kerouac0 -
my other half much prefers hotels and ive found a few very well reviewed chain hotels with free parking and breakfast thrown in for about £100 a night so I think we will stick with themLive each day like its your last because one day you'll be right0

scrub that after having a read up about bakersfield i now understand why the hotel were so reasonable so ive now booked a night in cambria, which looks lovely.
Now i just have to find a hotel for LA, and San DiegoLive each day like its your last because one day you'll be right0
