From New York we flew into LA, picked up our rental car (a 3.5L V6 Chevy!) and headed up the coast to Eureka.
We had a day poking around LA, Hollywood, Beverly Hills and the beaches. The beaches were super nice but it was a bit cold for swimming.
After LA we drove up the coast, sticking to Highway 1 or 101 along the coast. We took a week to get up the coast and it was really nice the whole way. The first thing we noticed was the lack of people, coming from crowded Europe, camping in the US was peaceful, relaxed and spacious. We stayed in State park campgrounds with the wildlife and have seen heaps of squirrels and deer although have seen signs warning of rattle snakes, raccoons, mountain lions and bears!
Up the coast we went past Elephant seal colonies, the rugged coastline of Big Sur and the Redwoods.
From Eureka we headed inland to stay with Ingra and Josh, our friends from Uni.
