California

We arrived in San Diego, California on April 9th.  We left California on June 11th.  So 2 full months in the "Bear Republic".  As a summary we saw;

San Diego

Los Angeles

We have been in desert climate and in some chilly temperatures.

Our campsite in Joshua Tree National Park.

  We have seen breath taking ocean views and redwood forests.

Elephant seals resting on a beach on highway 1.

 Redwoods big and tall.

We have focused on the coast line with a few stops slightly inland.  It has been an amazing 2 months.  But we are not done.  We have moved on to Oregon and Washington for now and will be in these 2 states until September.  But as cool weather arrives in the north in the Fall, we will begin to migrate south this time with a more inland path, but still in California.  By Thanksgiving we will be in Arizona and winter there.
