Well, we're closing in rapidly on September and it looks like I'll be roadtripping down to SoCal the second half of that month. I haven't been down to see my family in 12 years, and the occasion of the marriage of my youngest cousin is a good reason.

This is my tentative route down and back, and I'd be happy to meet up with anyone along the way for an adult beverage. I'm planning on taking about 4 days down and 3 back, about 400 miles per day. I'll have 2.5 weeks total for the trip. I'll be staying with family in the Inland Empire (Corona/Riverside) and taking a side trip down to San Diego. And since the wedding is in Henderson, NV, I'll be taking in the sights in Vegas on the 27-29th.

I will also accept suggestions/feedback on my route. I'm not going to make a beeline for SoCal but I don't want to take forever to get there either; this is still a vacation so I'm trying to strike a balance. I'm really looking for suggestions on the leg from Porterville/Bakersfield to Riverside. At that point I AM basically in beeline mode.

Day 1-2, Helena-Boise-Reno, tentatively 9/15-16

Day 3-4, Reno-Yosemite-Inland Empire tentatively 9/17-18 updated

On the way home from Henderson, NV, avoiding the interstate. First stop in Salina, UT, second stop in Northern Utah.
