From the Author
This book is a practical and interpretive travel guide to the wild and beautiful stretch of coastline between the Golden Gate Bridge and the Oregon border. I wrote it with active travelers in mind--people who might want to comb a beach, hike or bike a trail, fish a lagoon, kayak a cove, watch a whale, or explore an oddball museum. Camping was addressed in detail, and some of the region's more intriguing inns and restaurants are highlighted. Some readers will want a fairly detailed account of a region's character and history, while others will simply be looking for the tallest tree in the world or a good place to roost with a bottle of Fume Blanc and a couple of fresh-cooked Dungeness crabs. With that in mind, historical sketches, individual attractions (e.g., parks, museums, and beaches), and places of note to outdoor sports enthusiasts are either broken out of the main text or flagged with bold type to better grab the scanning eyeball. I assumed that some readers would want some discussion of natural history, so flora, fauna, and local geology are addressed from time to time. At the end of each chapter are sections highlighting some of the better camping, lodging, and dining opportunities in each region, followed by a list of seasonal events and some resources that might be of interest to coastal visitors (information bureaus, tours, whitewater rafting, RV repair, etc.).
