Sunny on the 101

More often than not it is sunny along the 101. You can enjoy a day like this in sandals, shorts and a t-shirt. These are the days to spend time cruising looking for that perfect beach and enjoy it since in the summer we will have lots of company. The Cafe begins it long build up to summer also with more guest showing up earlier. Can you imagine that folks think it cold when it gets down to 45 degrees in the mornings. Oh well they don't know weather like most of the world.
I have begun preparations fore the 3rd Annual Beach'n 101 Cruise along the 101 between Oceanside and La Jolla, September 7, 2008. We expect about a thousand cars on the asphalt this year. Every make, mode and year you can imagine and lots of trucks. Of course there are plenty of woodies who are getting ready for the BIG WaveCrest Show in Encinitas. A day of seeing and being seen.

Let the 101 Begin

My 101 world stretches from Mexico to Canada along the West Coast. Living on and enjoying the beaches has been my whole life. It is hard to imagine life without surf or asphalt. I live in the retro beach town Oceanside in California.
It has poured an unfamiliar rain for hours today and looks like there will be no break. Storm or not I can view the Pacific from my business the 101 Cafe. The view down the street from the Cafe includes four sets of train tracks. The train first came from inland to Oceanside in the 1800's and has 60 rail trips a day to our community. Soon there will be 60 more trips coming from a new passenger line beginning in Escondido. Ironic Oceanside began as a train town and now might have more rail trips than any other location in the state.
I hope to add 101 news and info. I will also try to add photos of the US Highway 101, 101 Cafe and my community Oceanside as often as I can. I will respond to questions also.
