Andy: is that the TREES OF MYSTERY where you are walking down trails in that Redwood forest?
looks like you are making nice progress down the coast. if it was me i'd head down Highway #1 even though i'm a bit scared of heights now, but if I had my bride along we'd head down I-5 for a bit and then cut over at Monterey. I heard it takes a few days to see all the Hearst Castle's offerings in case you are headed that way and i've never been and only seen pics of it on TV which looked pretty amazing.
I haven't been south of Oregon or north of Malibu on the coast for about 50 years so looking forward to more pictures and maybe a few good words from our silent host or maybe just a lot more pictures.
safe travels and looks like you are making nice progress with that new yellow 4 wheelin machine.

My money is still that a certain "Party Garage" in Southern California will get a visit.

Hi Andy,
I had been catching up on the forum over the last few nights when I read the sad news. Just want to let you know I am thinking of you and wish you much strength.
And to Rian and JB, thanks for posting the updates while Andy finds his way.

ALL: I had a hunch. when I sent Don a text to see if he knew Andy was on our side of the world since I hadn't seen him post in a week or so he informed me the wheels were in motion (litterly).
although it was a little hard to stay quiet while you all had your guesses i'm very happy they are now together. that isn't an easy drive down the coast and in January the road around here are usually wet and it's pouring rain or worse icy and snowing.
WELL DONE ANDY!!!!
to be a fly on the wall with you two in a garage would be something.
have fun and doesn't it seem like SATURDAY.
Bob: :thumbup
and thanks for the Muir Monument tip cause I hadn't heard (or remembered that place just north of the Golden Gate Bridge)
GRIZZ: you've done a great job being the middle man for Andy and I thank you for making his trip a part of ours.

It's true Old Iron Farmer was spotted in So. Ca. at the party garage
He called me a few days ago and said he was planing a trip driving down the west coast and asked if I were up for a visit.
He showed up just before noon on Thursday and we spent the entire day wandering around the yard, the garage and my shop. We went to dinner Thursday evening then spent the rest of the evening sharing old life stories. He spent the night and this morning we pulled the Toyota into the shop and gave it a full inspection.

We went to breakfast together then he headed off to continue his road trip
He said that the ride in my corvette was great!!!

Andy: I just looked at the map and you are making great time on the road in that new (to you) yellow machine. i've never driven east of Phoenix on the highways down in that part of the USA, but I did fly to Albuquerque and spend a few days there with my family and found Sante Fe was a nice place to spend a day.
so maybe sleeping back in your own bed tomorrow evening?
did you avoid snow and bad weather or have more than your share of wind and some snow taking that road home? from the pics it looks like summer down there.
hope you enjoyed your Saturday and even though today is a rest day I bet you'll make the best of it getting back home.

He made pretty good time after leaving my house.
We had a great visit and cemented a growing friendship.
Nice to know he made it home safely

And so it ends.
Of course this is not the end.
Double trouble?
Yellow Perils times two.
And possibly the photo I had in my mind the last two weeks.
A truer and more loyal friend than a dog is hard to find.
This is how most of us feel about Andy once we get to meet him.
Good to see that you made it home Andy.
For those wondering.
Excluding plane trip and ferrying to to Tulsa.
Actual trip mileage 2,972.
