Title: Trip to California, down the West Coast
Post by: Little on June 05, 2013, 06:46:05 am

My best friend and I are planning to head down the Pacific Coast Highway in a little under two weeks, hitting up Portland and San Fransisco before heading to a two-day punk festival in Orange County where Reagan Youth is playing. We plan to do a lot of camping, as we'll be going for three weeks. We plan to spend our times in Seattle, Portland, San Fransisco, LA, Sacramento and hopefully San Diego(I want to see the zoo!). I'm looking forward to seeing Crater Lake and the Redwood groves that stretch down this beautiful coast. Going to see some crazy bands in the heat of the California summer blossoming in June is going to be the trip of a lifetime.

Any Bay12ers want to meet us on the way? We're fun people. If anybody wants more details, has recommendations for places to go/absolute-must-visits/local attractions, wants to offer some floor/couch space, I'd be thrilled.

If you make it down to San Diego, I'd recommend the Safari Park over the Zoo. (Or, even better, do both). It's more fun, and a rather different experience than your typical zoo has. Of course, it doesn't have the pandas, so depending on what you're going for the Zoo can be better.

The Zoo is also next to Balboa park, which has a lot of really nice museums. If you do the Zoo, budget a little extra time to go walking around the park. It's an amazing place.
