I plan to move in 6-8 months out of California. Probably. Most likely. Finances and all that, plus the humongous amount this condo will now sell for. CA housing prices are outrageous, but I might as well benefit from it. :-)
Being a third generation Californian, this will be a wrench. And having lived here so long, I've seen a great deal of California. But I have not seen a lot of it for a long, long time. So I've been making plans to revisit some old familiar places before I leave, like Santa Cruz, Lake Tahoe, Siskiyou County, and Yosemite. And quite a few other places. Like I am considering a trip up the coast to catch a lot of redwoods and visit some spots that have some family history attached. Then when I sit down to figure it out, seems like if I want to see everything I want to see it could run into big bucks (motel rooms are expensive these days). So I started thinking I may have to do some tent camping to see everything. Starting probably in August. Never camped alone as a woman, bit intimidating. I did do a fair amount in my thirties with a group. But that was a long time ago. :-) I might eat out all the time and only camp over night. Haven't decided. Anyway, these trips will definitely be photography oriented. Been sort of figuring out the basic camping gear I need for tent camping. No frills. No backpacking. Anyway, anyone with any suggestions about camping gear I wouldn't mind hearing them. I also wouldn't mind hearing suggestions on tent camping in general. Tent camping to me means the camps are easily accessible by car and no RVs are involved.
