Thanks Cindy !

We've been to Pfeiffer Big Sur campground a couple of times now, just car camping. A really great place to camp! And the fact that you don't have to cook if you don't want to is a real plus. We went in October both times so it wasn't very crowded, but I imagine it could be really packed in summer. Good thing they have the hiker/biker sites. And plumbing.

Yep, we have the Adventure Cycling maps, and the most recent edition of Spring & Kirkendall. But I really appreciate the offer - I'll be sure to pick your brains next time I see you.

At Lompoc we might go inland over to Solvang and head straight from there to Santa Barbara, rather than follow the coast, so we would probably miss out on Refugio beach. Unless it's too hot, then we would probably take the coastal route. But we have about 9 months to work it all out - we'll change our minds a half dozen times, at least.

So are you any closer to deciding on your destination this summer?
