I would never have thought about the turn outs going north on the PCH, but of course it seems so obvious now going south is the much smarter course. We will definitely change course from inland on the first leg and going south along the coast. I will also do the point a to point b map/attraction trick. And thanks for the ideas of interesting things to see and do along the coast; I'm going to put them all in my itinerary. Thank you so very much.First summer road tripMy husband and I want to plan a trip traveling the pacific coast highway in our travel trailer this summer. We would like to start in San Diego and see many must see sites along the way as we travel up as far as Vancouver BC. We have from mid May until mid August to go up and then back down a more inland route so we can see as many states on the west as this block of time allows. We will be ending in Phoenix Arizona where we live full time in our travel trailer. This is a daunting itinerary and I really haven't a clue where I should start planning. I know there are many well traveled campers and history lovers on this forum who I hope will share their expertise with me. Our overall goal, in the end, is to see as many of our country's national parks and interesting attractions as possible. We want to start this summer with the west coast. We hope we will be able venture out to the Midwest and to eventually travel to all the 48 states starting with this first summer vacation. Thank you
