Moving tomorrow

I gave it a shot at going to the beach today, traffic was a mess. There are more things to do weekends in San Diego than is imaginable, but the most favorite seems to be going to the beach.

I'll be driving out of here heading towards a town called Corona for a night, getting ready to make a big run from there to Bakersfield. The idea is to get out of San Diego and around Los Angeles as quickly as possible.

It's not the scenery or the weather or the beaches or the activities I want to avoid, it's the never-ending density of people, the crowds, and the southern California culture that gives me stress. Example: I nearly took out not one but two Ferraris today that were passing me on the right and I couldn't see them (way down there) in my mirror. I made me wonder what the hell was I doing in a place where Ferraris are a common vehicle to go to the beach. I'm out of my 'hood here, I think.

I'll be on the Pacific Coast Highway for a brief time tomorrow to see the beaches, then it will be redwood country in a couple of weeks before I get back to the ocean. I'm looking for a southern California beach with a tiny fishing town with few people and cheap living, but I might not find it...
