Pacific Coast Highway 2014
A Scamp travel trailer trip from Colorado to the entire Pacific Coast Highway (PCH), 8/22/14 - 10/2/14, 4,759 miles in 42 days.
After spending 9 days in other parts of Washington, I only camped 2 nights on the Washington coast; not many ocean views on the Washington PCH. Oregon and California have much more to offer.
If you plan to do the PCH, drive from south to north. I was driving into the sun for over 2000 miles. This trip is the reverse of my motorhome PCH travels in 2004.
