Coastal car trip

David Smeltzer of West Manchester Township snapped these two pictures while driving from Seattle to San Diego.
Most of the summer 2007 trip, which he did with his daughter, Donna Mabry, was along the Pacific Coast highway, except for an inland visit to Mount Hood, Oregon, shown in the one shot.
His travel tip: Stick close to the coast the whole way down because it’s so beautiful you can’t believe it.
