Hot!
Now, 105 IS a lot cooler than 123, guys. (Give me a break here. We didn't go to the desert in the summer, though except when we moved to GA in August & drove across the Mohave in a 1960 Ford with 2 young boys & on air conditioning except rolled-down windows.) You should find the coastal plain much more pleasant. Don't miss the Pacific! The seal rocks in Laguna Beach (my fav place--try Victor Hugo's near the main beach for food or just the view) or if you head south, in La Jolla (entrance is inside a tourist trap just off the north end of town & takes you thru a tunnel right down ONto the rocks!) Definitely try to drive up the coastal 101 to Santa Barbara, Moro Beach, The Redwood Forest to Hearst Castle, 17 mile Drive in Monterey & San Francisco if you can. Some places on Earth may equal that in beauty, but doubt that any can surpasse that admittedly long drive. BY THE WAY: Heard on the news that people were advised not to go barefoot in the desert today due to the extreme heat.
