We're off on our annual pilgrimage to SanDiego Comic Con and have an epic road trip to undertake.

Landing in San Francisco, we have a few nights there before heading North on the 101 to see the giant Redwoods and other cool things before time near Mount Hood.

Then it's down the I5 to Moss Beach, the 1 and 101 (with a detour at Gordo as the 1 is still blocked by a mud slide) to Cambria, then to Santa Barbara, Los Angeles and San Diego.

East to Las Vegas, the Grand Canyon (West, South and East), the Giant Meteor Crater, Monument Valley and Santa Fe.

Back to Las Vegas, Death Valley and up through the old cowboy towns in the Sierra Nevada to Lake Tahoe, and back to San Francisco.

It's a fair amount of driving but in 200 - 300 mile blocks with 2 - 3 days at each stop for exploration; San Diego gets 8 days.

Forum users; your mission, should you accept it, is to recommend some awesome music (singles and albums) for the road trip.

Your list begins now!

Part of your fun is going to be the radio and how it changes from station to station in relatively small distances. Rock merges into Country merges into pop.

Have a brilliant time. I am jealous!

Truckin by The Grateful Dead and

Panama Red by New Riders of The Purple Sage

Sort of fit in with that part of the world sadly in an historical way.

The perfect album for that is Rod Stewart Atlantic Crossing, every track fits the bill.

Or, as you drive towards Eureka, the only thing you can get is gospel music, or a phone-in show with three callers talking about 'chem trails'.

All the music is going to be stored on our AK240; it will connect to anything (and we'll be taking the odd interface cable along, as well).

It does indeed; Haight and Ashbury is always on our visit list, on account of the bars and smokers, and it's the 50th Anniversary of the Summer of Love, this year!

Charlie Manson was another individual with a Haight Ashbury link, and we pass San Quentin just after the Golden Gate Bridge, heading North, where he was incarcerated until he was transferred to Corcoran, in 1989.
