You guys are great. Keep the suggestions coming. Here's our plan.
One month in the San Diego Area where we will scout out things in about an 80 mile circle. Well not really a circle cuz we don't want to land in the Pacific, but you get the picture. Next we will go north toward LA. Problem is, my sister lives in the Foothills and I sure can't find camping near there so will take Sue's advice and try the East Shore. Next will be the Ventura area, and so on. We plan on traveling the coast except for the San Francisco area and want to be in Chico by mid April. You can see, we will have plenty of time for at least a week in each area so any must see's and must do's or where we must stay will be appreciated.
