Cruising Old Highway 101
It’s been called one of the three great road trips in America ” and its right in San Diego County.
Old U.S. 101 the original coast route from San Diego to Los Angeles. Take the trip with Weekend Driver through the towns north of San Diego from Torrey Pines, through Del Mar, Solana Beach, Cardiff-By-The-Sea, Encinitas, Leucadia, Carlsbad and Oceanside.
Its a route that retains much if its Blue Highways charm and is still part of vibrant communities. Plus, its right on the coast, something that Route 66 cant claim, except in Santa Monica, Calif.
Join us as we drive the highway, cruise the bus and live it,
with three videos of car events along the way.
