After getting the winning bid, my wife at the time, now my ex, and I decided to make a trip out to California to pick up my new purchase.
We headed out west and stopped at a friend’s house where we stayed the night in Las Cruces, NM. We got up at 6 a.m. and took off driving again. At 6 p.m. we arrived in Santa Monica, CA, were we stayed with another friend for a couple of days. We did some shopping, saw some celebs, felt the ocean and took pictures near the Hollywood sign.
A few days later, we drove up Pacific Coast Highway 1, the famous highway that runs along the coast from San Diego to Northern California. We traveled through beautiful towns like Malibu and Ventura and just north of Santa Barbara, we arrived in Ojai. We visited for a while about the history of the Cruiser and loaded it up on the flatbed trailer being pulled by our Chevy Tahoe.
After we get it strapped down, he hands me the keys and spent the next 5 hours on the road to Vegas.
