We camped in Big Sur Campground in Big Sur, CA. It was in a wooded area amongst Redwoods and along a river. Here is the van in our campsite to show the scale of some of the tall trees. It seems the Coastal Redwoods are pretty common. This was a few yards from our site. [...]
A few days ago we visited Monterrey, CA. It is a good area for a vacation with many restaurants and activities for families and tourists. We visited the Aquarium there which is the largest one I have ever seen My favorite exhibit was called the Kelp Forest. It was a tank about the size of [...]

On the twelth day of our vacation we went into San Francisco again. This time we went back to Japantown for a about an hour and then to the Haight section of the city. I was hoping it would be a good place to go shopping. I was kinda dissapointed. I thought they would have [...]
On this day we took the ferry to San Francisco from Larkspur, CA where we were staying and visited a few of the well known neighborhoods. The first one we visited was Chinatown. We spent a lot of time there. We kept looking for the “cool area”. I visited here when I was a kid [...]
We left Trinidad and traveled down 101 to San Francisco. We stopped at the Humboldt Redwoods State Park. I read that this is were the tallest Redwoods were. I didn’t end up taking any more redwood photos but did see this deer. Just as at the national park I felt it was not as organized [...]

Our campsite at the Emerald Forest in Trinidad,CA was very rustic. The night before about six raccoons came up to me [...]
We drove from outside Reno, NV to a small town called Trinidad, CA today. It was another long drive. \ I was glad to get out of Nevada. The scenery improved as the day went on but the driving became pretty challenging. It was the most twisting roads I remember driving on. Most of it [...]
I thought the place we stayed in Fernley was bad until I saw Reno. For one thing it was filled with bikers. I can’t wait for the chopper trend to go away. You used to be a rebel if you drove a motorcycle, now everyone and their brother have one and are posing by it [...]
This was a long day of driving. I was again surprised by the hundreds of miles of nothing. We stayed the night before in a place called the East Bay RV Park outside of Provo, Utah. I did not care for it much. It was basically a big parking lot. It had very little grass [...]
