Thanks.Mike. your input is i valuable. With the exception of Stinson Beach, that's pretty much the route I'd planned. I guess that in order to be in Tahoe by Sept. 23 for Gary and Vicki, we would need to leave Phoenix on the previous Thursday the 15th morning about 0400hrs. That shoud get us across the majority of the desert before the serious heat starts. First night in Santa Monica and then on up the coast. Second night in Buelton or Solvang. Then Morro Bay, two nights in Monteray then Sausalito, Napa Valley and a night in Benicia and then on to Tahoe. That should put us in there late in the morning or early afternoon of the 22.
