The Great California Road Trip MoBlog

powerss

So, I'm in the back of my parent's car, on my Macbook, bluetooth'd to my Treo, getting power from an inverter.

I will be documenting my momentus journey from San Francisco to San Luis Obispo, CA. It's about 3 hours when I drive, 4 when my mother is driving.

Maybe cool shit will happen, maybe it wont. Maybe you guys will degrade into cox/dix LOL.

The Passport 8500 is engaged, we're traveling 70, and let the moblogging commence...

Wait so you consider a 3 hour drive "really long" then?

Bedlam

Poo is ment to be left on the ground, Jimmy.

No, this ride isn't really long. Here to Vegas, 12 hours, is long.

But it's... longer.

Or something.

We're in traffic on interstate 880. Going to 101. Fucking Dixon Landing Road.

will wichita be en route?

Abracadaniel

depending on whether i have a job lined up / how much cash I have saved for the move, I might make some stops and drive a little out of the way to visit some people, if they can organize themselves so we can get lunch or something

t ron: no it won't

Fallout

dude I can take a 12 hour road trip with no stops no problem

4 hours is a swing around the block

matthias00

Am I the only one who like never has to stop and go to the bathroom during road trips? It sure seems like it sometimes.

i do that too. i think it's because i spend the majority of drive time sleeping instead of eating or drinking

Ronjon

I figured not, but I was holding out for a crazy as fuck non-linear move extravaganza.

I would totally buy you some delicious Gyros.

I don't really enjoy driving very much unless it's a road trip type situation but three hours is pretty tame...

if that were possible i'd hit up ne canada so i could hang out with DaySleeper and Pony and Redeemer and all of them.

This is my rough plan for the route since there are folks in California and Oregon I wanna hang with that are still sort of along the way, especially if I can time it for next years SDCC

powerss

Update: My mom stayed on 880. Almost ended up in Santa Cruz.

Back on track, now on 101. It's a straight shot now. Nothing new to report.

God this is boring.

Sheri

You're telling us.

Redeemer

Road trips are boring unless Nicole Richie and Paris Hilton are involved

snap

and when that happens they are annoying

The Green Eyed Monster

I have done this very drive. It is one of the most boring drives I've ever done in my entire life, and I am not exaggerating at all.

Prepare to be bored for a while longer.

Nicole Richie used to be kinda cute but no she looks like every other boring sickly model type and is just icky now.

Paris Hilton is a fart in a mittin.

Id totally do that chick off to the right.

Moe Fwacky

Let's see, Cleveland, OH to Costa Mesa, CA in 3 days alone, I flew back as I was driving a friend's car out there because he wanted to fly when he moved and I wanted to go to California.
The CCST from Cleveland to Bellevue, WA in 2 days with one alternate driver, and two days back after PAX.
Thirty-six hours without sleep on a round trip from Cleveland to New Jersey with stops in Jersey City, Hoboken and down to Red Bank earlier in the day (also with a lot of getting lost).
Also back in 2001 I grabbed a couple friends and we drove from Cleveland to Indiana, up into Michigan and back to Cleveland for no reason.
