Before I did a 15,000km- 8 week tour of western NA, I went through some old
list messages I'd saved in a special folder on members trips, favorite
roads, and roadside tips...Using my experiences and others recommendations I
made up a general trip route including the best topography and views I could
cover in one wide roundtrip, staying more to the high ground & coastal areas
where the temps were comfortable in July-Aug. and away from the cities
(which I see when traveling on work, and seem a lot alike to me now, you've
seen one termite hill/wallyworld you've seen them all). Usually I don't tell
people exactly where I stay, Because I stay mostly off road and out of
sight.... Almost always were I do stay, I have to More and More ...clean up
the area first..... I really don't like the fact that I have to share this
planet with a growing number of careless slobs... but I do my part, I clean
up and only leave foot prints. And because other list members have been good
enough to share, I should too..... I generally buy a seasons pass to the
national forest and parks... I found the Nat'l forest in most places had the
kind of remote atmosphere I like best (like where I live)... less SUV's full
of fat rubber necking obnoxious loud slobs with stinky smoke choking camp
fires. Of course not everyone is like that and this is just one man's
outlook... thank goodness you are still (for the moment) allowed your own
opinions also.
10 of my favorite places to visit in NA
Yosemite Nat'l Pk (Olmstead & Glacier point)
Calif. Hwy 101 from Santa Barbara to Point Lobos SR
