Now, you're talking! The map of the Malibu Canyon area is more like it! This would be a VERY pleasureable drive, especially coming from the 101 back down south , winding thru Kanan Dune Road or Muholland Hwy (depending how far north folks want to venture). But stay off Decker Canyon Rd, that's where the hard core racers (Porsches, Ferrarris, and a few serious rockets 'throw down', and trust me, you DO NOT want to be crusin along and something whips by you at 75-80 on a hairpin turn by an inch or two-and Decker has plenty of those. You'll wish you had a change of drawers. They don't play on DCR. I know, I used to jam it in my Super Sport (which was great in a straight line but was to big to handle on curves). Almost bit the big one up there. Never wanted to go back. And because of all that activity, cops just lay in wait....

FFDrifter above made a very good point about a caravan with too many cars having a hard time moving thru all the tourist traffic on many of those twisty roads that leed back down to Malibu & PCH. That IS something to consider, especially if we have the kind of turnout like a couple of weeks ago. Or more.

But (back to the Malibu run for a minute), on the way back in on Pacific Coast Hwy, for those interested, we could all make a pitstop at Gladstones for Fish, a VERY popular spot with excellent seafood and drinks and killer Malibu view. Take some susnset pictures. Just a thought.

The Palomar suggestion above sounds also like a enjoyable cruise.

Either one of those concepts, I'm down for!!
