Vacation by the nunbers

[KuroNekko]

Hi there, Last time i visited at California by car it was my first visit to car. What was visit at Called the Pacific Coast Highway farther south, locals in Northern California simply call the 400-mile stretch from San Francisco to Crescent City 'Highway 1.'

It's true that the same highway is called a different name depending on region thus your experience is accurate. I live in Southern California not far from the beach and regularly drive on the Pacific Coast Highway or "PCH"as we call it here. It's more of a thoroughfare choked with beachfront hotels and fancy shops in the Orange County area than a remote but breathtaking coast-hugging highway like further north in the state.
