Default 7000 km Road Trip, Anyone along the path?

I have a Golf Tourney in Osoyoos, BC from April 25-29, and was planning on going on an adventure, solo, leaving Thursday (April 8) from Calgary and going down through Montana, Idaho, Utah, Arizona, and coming back up along the west coast through Cali, Oregon and Washington before crossing the border back into Canada. I have a base plan/route, but nothing is set in stone and I am open for any suggestions on things to see along the way, as well as meeting up with any members that would be up for a round of golf, a beer, or Car Show or whatever... I am allowing myself just over 2 weeks to enjoy the drive, play as many golf courses as I can, meet people along the way and just have an adventure. If anyone is along my intended path and would like to meet up, let me know.

If you coming through California..Take a drive along Highway 1 near Big Sur, through Carmel--17 miledrive--Pebble Beach and Monterey. You can't beat the Pacific Coast Highway its beautiful near Big Sur..great ride..just keep your eyes on the road pull over it you want to take some pics. I'm taking the kids to Monterey in the Stang I'll snap some pics to give you an idea.

If you're going to be in San Francisco and are a fan of the Bullitt movie, you might want to see the building where Bullitt lived. It's on Taylor Street, at the corner of Clay Street. The market where he shopped is still there, right across the street. PM me if you're going to be in town and want to meet up.

If you're going to be near Glacier park, take a drive on the "Going to the Sun" road if it's open.

If you drive through Vegas from AZ to CA, take a swing through Red Rock Canyon.

Depending on weather and schedule I'd be up for a round of golf. I'm about 30 miles north of Seattle a few miles off of I-5.

Shoot me a pm when you get an idea of when you will be in this area.

BTW my idea of a round of golf is playing from the white tees and hacking out something in the 90's. Just giving you fair warning.
