I really like it here. I can get in my boat and get out into an estuary that is pretty unique. We can get away from people and that is a valuable thing. When we want to see something else, the airport is about 15 minutes away and the interstate is more like 5. |

We like some back country lakes in the Sierras, so camping is great for that. |

We just came from a little over 2 weeks in Mission Beach, San Diego. Rented a nice 3 bedroom condo. Easy walk to the bay and the ocean beaches. Nice boogie boarding, short drive to Seaforth Landing, took a couple 3/4 day tuna trips. One great trip, one bust of a trip. Only day in 2 months where near limits of Yellow Fin tuna were not caught. Nice place, good too cook in, and close to some of the restaurants we like. Camping would not be as near the beaches, and not as nice facilities. At least in my truck camper. |

This place looks pretty nice! http://missionbayrvresort.com/ Don't know how the price compares to a condo though. Our rig could only be called a 'two bedroom' at best. -- Ban idiots, not guns! |

Jes wonderin. :-) If there is something that interesting along the way, we would just plan a trip there. We are starting to run out of states. That is why we went to New Zealand this year. We have done all the western states and I have seen corn and wheat so the midwest is not that exciting for us. Since our kids are in Northern Michigan now, I imagine we will go take a look at that area. Thankfully we aren't even close to running out of new places to visit and places we'd like to revisit and explore in more detail. |

Thankfully we aren't even close to running out of new places to visit and places we'd like to revisit and explore in more detail. We still have a few places we would go back to. The house near Mt Hood is a great place but it was off the rental market the last time we looked. http://gfretwell.com/ftp/Oregon/Mt%20Hood/Cabin.jpg I would go back there tho. Great hiking in the Mt Hood area, http://gfretwell.com/ftp/Oregon/Mt%2...0the%20PCT.jpg the gorge is about 40 minutes away if you go down the dirt road. http://gfretwell.com/ftp/Oregon/Mt%2...0and%20ski.jpg |
