This is just a wild idea, at this time. I'm thinking of traveling south on Highway One along the California coast after IRG 5.0. My initial idea is to take 4 days (maybe more, maybe less) to travel from Pamplin Grove in Humboldt County to San Luis Obispo. Wondering if anyone else is going to do a similar trip south? If so, we might travel together.
My initial idea is to camp Monday night in Fort Bragg or Mendocino. Old friends of mine live near Mendocino a little inland from Van Damme State Park. They offered me a place to camp. Their camping offer may be extended for a small group.
Tuesday I/we might camp in Ocean Cove oceancove.org/campground a favorite camp spot for the Northern California and Jefferson State Tearjerkers.
Wednesday I/we might camp near the S.F. Bay Area. Location is very open. Initial ideas are to camp at Bodega Bay, or in Point Reyes or in/near Bolinas.
Thursday I/we might camp in Half Moon Bay or Big Basin Redwoods State Park. Or somewhere else that I/we decide.
Friday I/we can camp in Big Sur. bigsurcalifornia.org/camping Or in King City if we take 101 south instead. San Lorenzo campground in King City
Saturday I/we could camp in San Luis Obispo County. slostateparks.com/camping Ideas are San Simeon, Morro Bay, or Montana de Oro (the site of our first SLO Gathering) just south of Morro Bay. San Luis Obispo is my home town. If you look at the SLO Gathering pictures, I'm the tall guy wearing a wide brimTilley hat in the morning waffles picture.
Right now this is a wild idea that may become a reality if there is enough shared interest in doing it. People with teardrops, not attending IRG, might join us along the way for one night, or more. Or know of a special place along the way to stay or to visit to add to the fun.
If there are people heading further south you might camp at Jalama Beach south of Lompoc, Cachuma Lake, or one of the state park campgrounds on the Gaviota Coast north of Santa Barbara. californiasbestbeaches.com/gaviota_camping
Is anyone interested in traveling together Crawling South On California Hwy. One After IRG 5.0?
