This is a map depicting the path of Route 1 or "Pacific Coast Highway" in California. Growing up in Long Beach, my dad and I would take trips to different beaches along the southern part of the state. On the occasional Friday, he would pick me up from school -car packed- and we would head off for the weekend. On those trips, the travelling was as beautiful as the destination. For hours we would parallel the coast as his 1970 VW bug slowly twisted and turned down the old highway to San Onofre, San Clemente or even San Diego.
As a kid I travelled the same stretch of Route 1 from Long Beach to Mexico countless times. But if I make it back to California, it is my goal to drive from the top of the state all the way to the bottom. It would be the trip of a lifetime surrounded by beauty, beaches and nostalgia.
