Hello
I once lived near San Francisco and one of my favorite day trips was to
Bodega Bay and sometimes we would go to half moon bay, Both are very
beautiful areas as far as where to camp maybe you could find a place online.
Another place that I liked to go hiking and fishing was Lake Beryessa ( I am
sure that is spelled wrong )Look it up.

Subject: California Dreamin - Trip up/down coast, need advice

For the Thanksgiving holiday week we are thinking about driving up the coast
of Cali (from south to San Fran). Our trip would be Salt Lake to Ventura, up
the coast to San Fran and over through Reno back to Salt Lake. We've been to
San Fran and to Southern Cal, but never in between. We're brining our young
son along (1.25 years) so we're going to be flxible about how long we drive
and where we stop. I'm looking for some suggestions on:

- Things to NOT MISS on the coast.

- Good places to camp (or any place to camp!) -- We've stayed at some of the
various beaches south of San Fran, so I'm assuming there are campgrounds
like this all along the coast

- Good places to EAT! Any hole-in-the-wall resturants would be great. It
would also be neat to find a cool place for turkey day.

- Busses to meet! If anyone is doing the same thing, we'd at least like to
know where we can wave at you.

- Anything else I may have forgotten.

The end of the trip is open-ended, so we don't need to be on too-tight of a
schedule (7-9 days I think). We're looking forward to a happy turkey day!

Thanks,
