It was very nice to camp in the redwoods. At $35 the CA state parks are very expensive camping, almost as much as Motel 6 in Oregon.
I was worried about finding a spot to camp here, so except for Breakfast in Santa Barbara, I did not stop for photos and the spots did not seem as pretty as Oregon.
I even drove after find a spot to a beach which when I got down there told me it was $5!, even though it was National Forest. It did not seem like it was even worth the drive down there.
The next day I would take the Pebble Beach drive and go to Monterey Aquarium, then to 101 rather than anymore slow driving along the coast.
