| Big Sur - US1 |
 |
| Typical California coast |
| Met my friend Barry at Big Sur for 3 days.
Peiffer Big Sur State Park Campground isn't mentioned on the US1 or near
the Lodge at the entrance area, but it's there. $35/night plus $10 for a
second vehicle. Got a whopping $2 for being a senior making it
$43/night. (Yosemite with senior discount costs me $10/night) There was
a Forest Service Campground about 20 miles south but I always wanted to
stay at Big Sur. Last time I was there Jackie & I paid to spend the
night in the parking lot because it was full (200+ sites). The park
includes the southern most Redwoods, although most of it was closed
except for maybe 40 sites. We never had more than a dozen sites
occupied, 5 or so by squatters (campground hosts). The Redwood sections
were closed but a good place to run the dog because they were empty. |

Final camp, west of Walker Pass at about 4000' (and
19 degrees in the morning) |
| I also managed to visit grandkids Tyler &
Patience in Baywood. They are attending college in San Luis Obispo.
Spent a night camping in their driveway and got to see 49ers beat Seattle
on TV at their Uncle Joe's house near Cal Poly. |
