What to do in Pacific Coast Highway
Jack Kerouac and Henry Miller found literary inspiration here. Surfers discovered curling waves. Movie moguls found themselves living the good life. As for the rest of us, well, we merely find enough time to make our way to the edge of the continent, roll down the windows, and drive some portion of 655-mile Highway 1, also known as the Pacific Coast Highway. Spend enough time here and you'll find this name too formal, too, referring to it like the Californians do, as the PCH.
Constructed between 1919 and the late 1930s, this ribbon of two-, four-, and multi-lane blacktop stretches from San Juan Capistrano in Orange County, in the south, all the way to the quaint, unsung hamlet of Leggett, in northeastern Mendocino County, about 50 minutes northeast of Fort Bragg.

We are planning our honeymoon - end of October 2010 and were thinking of travelling along Highway 1. We would be flying to San Francisco and renting a car. I have never been in California and so would like to see and do as much as we can yet still have some time to relax. We would like to stay in nice mid-range hotels along the way but I have no idea how much we should reasonably expect to travel - we have 2 weeks. I don't really know anything about the area - you're my first stop.

My wife and I are planning on traveling CA 1 from it's start in Northern California to Santa Monica in July. Can you advise if a 32 ft. motor home can travel this route and if so can you recommend any RV parks/Resorts along the way?
