alison the wilca Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 yeah, when you stop at baker, eat at the mad greek (their sign is in that photo)... its a greasy spoon kind place but really great road food. stop in primm (just past the state line of NV) and ride a roller coaster. Its a weird little town consisting of a couple big hotels and a shopping mall and the first gambling spot on your way to vegas. you should go to joshua tree, if possible, as well. big sur is GORGEOUS. accommodations are generally camping/rustic or lavish resorts. you can find lots of interesting stuff online. While you are near big sur, go see the redwoods near santa cruz. http://www.bigbasin.org/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Skian Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Stay at the the Big Sur Campground along side the Big Sur River.Walk up to the Gorge and go swimming and diving. Beautiful river and great diving off the rocks! Stop in the Big Sur River Inn General Store. Buy a Big Sur Bar or two.Tell Sarah, Ian says 'Hi"Stop at the fresh water spring just south of the town of Big Sur.The spring is call Rhimes. Fill up your water bottle with some tastynatural spring water. Heading south be sure to stop at San Simeon State Beach (the Cove)where the pier is. Nice sandy beach.Head south some more, go into Cambria.Go to The Rainbow Bean for coffee & ice cream and buy another Big Sur Bar.Stay clear of Morro Bay.San Luis Obispo is a nice town to check out.Tsurugi's Japanesse Restaurant for lunch or dinner.Go the Nautical Bean for great coffee and stock up on Big Sur BarsAvoid L.A. at all costs.Head straight to the Mojave desert and go for Sin City. Have a great time!Careful its kinda hot in Death Valley this time of year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
