A good friend of mine (Eric – you know who you are) once introduced me to a new term for eating a meal while moving around with no main course … “grazing”. It occurred to me a couple of days ago that this trip is just like that, but in a camping road trip perspective…we have no final “destination”, but just moving along sampling some really great places along the way.
Day 6 was spent traveling through wine country. I say through because we didn’t really take the time to wine taste, as this isn’t Kyle’s favorite thing to do, but we did see what I’m sure you’ll agree is the premier wine maker in all of Napa county, Sutter Home. We camped at a nice place at the Napa County fairgrounds in Calistoga, and ate at a nice (but overpriced)
Our next stop was a visit to Deb’s sister Carolyn in Morgan Hill, CA, south of San Jose where we had some great conversation and a superb pot roast.
Leaving Carolyn’s we stopped and walked around the fisherman’s wharf area of Monterey and saw some cool sea lions. 
Travelling south down Hwy 1, we went through incredible Big Sur and enjoyed the gorgeous coastline and winding road.
We spent the next night at Pismo Beach State Park (North), which is very very nice campground with trails to the beach. We liked this state so much we decided to stay three nights. We rate thgis campground a solid 9, for beauty, cleanliness and access to the beach. While staying there, we hit a bucket of balls and played golf at the state golf executive 9-hole course next door.
We also walked the town of Pismo Beach and the nifty pier. We bought a new wind sock to replace the one we lost at St. Andrews park in Florida a couple years ago.
