27 looks like quite the route. I think that looks good, but I dont know about the first day being easy. It will be a 400+ mile day. A good breakfast and supper when we arrive sounds good. And yea, checking out cracks in rocks definitely sounds like a good time to me. I'm thinking we will see lots rocks along the way we can check out if need be. Hopefully some other scenery too. Hwy 27 it is then?
Time? Yea, I think leaving at 8am or so would be good. Should bring us into the Bay at a decent time.
