| Roadtrip! Where to stay north of LA?
It's roadtrip time again. This time we're going up to Berkeley to visit my sis-in-law, SF, and surrounding areas.
We were planning on leaving first thing in the AM, but we are also considering leaving the night before and getting a couple of hours past LA to beat the AM traffic.
Do you guys have any suggestions on possible places to stay and enjoy? We'd probably be leaving around 8pm.

Fontana, CA | Stay? It's only a 6.5 to 7 hour trip. Leave at 3am and you'll be there in time for a late breakfast.
If you see a Black Bear Diner on the way you won't be disappointed with your meal. |

If you want to get a few hours out of LA, Bakersfield would probaly be one of the best options. |

Okay,
Bakersfield is probably one of your worst options.
Why not take the 101 all the way up the coast?
Stay in San Luis Obispo or something.
Going up the valley, you see nothing pretty (other than farmland, if you think that is pretty)
Good luck on your road trip! |

I agree with captain on this one. Just leave early, at 4 - 5AM (to avoid traffic up North). If you take the 101 you're going to add about ~55 additional miles and an extra hour and a half drive time (you have to love the Google maps drag a drop route change feature). »maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&g···z=8&om=1
As for where to stay? It's out of the way, but on the way back you may want to visit if not stay the night in Big Sur. You could then take the 1 to the 101 and stop at Hurst Castle on the way. |

Post Falls, ID | Or stay at the Madonna Inn if you like sleeping in a cave or peeing in a pink, heart festooned bathroom. |

We decided to stay in Santa Clarita. At least we'll miss the LA traffic and not have to leave at 4am to avoid it.

Not a bad stop, I guess.
Have fun! |
