I know there are quite a few CA folks on the board here. The wife and I have 2 passes for free round trip airline tickets to anywhere in the continental US and we thought CA might be a fun place to go since neither of us have been there before.
Where should we go and what are the best attractions? Suggestions? We're thinking early July for about a week. |

July will be a problem with any of the big name tourist places - they'll be booked, so plan way ahead if that's the plan. Yosemite is great, but moreso at midnite with a full moon. San Diego Wild Animal Park is more entertaining than the amusement parks. Ca has a lot of state parks and wilderness areas - if you're into hiking pick something not in a national park. Avoid the big cities, esp LA and SF - they are dirty and crowded. Santa Cruz, on the other hand, is wonderful ;-), and is on Hwy 1 - definitely drive it from Cambria north. Take in a club race - check the schedules, hook up with someone for a ride on one of our great tracks.
