Upper and Middle California Coast
DH and I are currently in Pullman WA, with plans to head down toward the OR coast so he can play the Bandon Dunes course. Having previously visited both the WA and OR coastlines we'd like to visit the parts of the CA coastline that we've never covered, hence the diagonal route that we'll be taking. We have never been to the top of California, on the coast, down to the top of the Napa Valley, or just west of Healdsburg. We do plan to visit the Redwood NP in the northern part of CA. The other part of the coastline we have never visited is from south of Big Sur to Santa Barbara. Of course we want to go to the Hearst Castle and I know to make reservations so I will be doing that. My question for you is what else in those areas, besides the NP and the Hearst Castle should we not miss? I should also mention that Solvang is also on our agenda. We have a little over three weeks to accomplish this, so may just need to hit the highlights! We need to be back in Texas by Sept. 15.
I know the highway along the coast can be a poor choice for a big rig. How is it from the OR border, down to Eureka? Is that doable for a dually and a 36' fifth wheel? If not, don't laugh too hard, and give us an alternate route! Any other advice as far as routes, particularly from south of San Francisco down to Santa Barbara as well as great campgrounds and the like would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much, in advance for your advice, I always value it greatly!
