The October 94 National Geographic's cover story is "Our National Parks".
Looks to have some good information in it. Also, the Aug. 94 Readers
Digest has an article on "Six Great Vacation Drives", two of which are
close to your route. Check them out! I'm always looking for sources of
information to use in planning the May'95 "Bricks Across America" tour, so
if you feel like sharing details of your trip, both before and after, I
(and I'm sure the rest of the list too) would be really interested!

Well, I can supply you with information for San Diego. If you want, contact
me directly when you get here - my phone # is (619) 469-8894. We can all
go out to dinner and talk about Joel, Thom, Ric, Martha, etc. :)
