All,

Getting ready for what I call my Steinbeck Tour. I have wanted to make this route a reality for some time now. The route goes from Santa Cruz, CA down the Salinas Valley to Paso Robles and then terminates in San Luis Obispo with Amtrak as the way back north. Its 250 miles and plan on doing it in 5 days. Plan leaving the last weekend in May, so should have good weather ( which means not too hot, not too cold, and tailwinds a majority of the route). Wildflowers should be on display. This is a credit card tour, that is hotel to hotel. At 62 years old, I feel that's a reasonable choice. Should be fun.
