Well, thanks for all of your great suggestions on vacation ideas for later
this month.  It looks like we have finally settled on a trip that will take
us up the California North Coast to southern Oregon and back down through
Mt. Lassen and Lake Almanor, CA before returning home.

Specifics:
From Santa Barbara to San Francisco, where we will meet up with my brother
and his fianc�e (in their Toyota 4Runner)
Up the Mendocino coast with stop for lunch at Tomales Bay Oyster Farm( a
must-do for oyster lovers!)
Benbow/Garberville
Redwood National Forest
Ashland, OR
Klamath Falls, OR
Mt. Lassen National Park
Lake Almanor, CA
June Lake, CA/Bridgeport for fireworks
Back to Santa Barbara    :-(

Total trip duration: 14 days!  About  1,800 miles.

Any suggestions for camping/must-see/mountain biking/fishing spots would be
appreciated!

My brother will be taking a professional-quality digital camera, so I hope
to come back with lots of pictures of the Syncro in action!  (maybe I'll
finally get around to doing my own web site...)
