Hey everyone! It’s been about 4 days since we started the trip and things have been going great. After moving out of my apartment, we realized wehave way too much stuff. We successfully fit everything into Yogi but will definitely have to get rid of some items along the way.
The first night out, we stayed along the coast of highway 1. It was beautiful to wake up next to the view and sound of the water.
We’ve been finding some great spots to set up camp at night. The iOverlander app is a great resource for those that are looking for wild camping all over the US. Our next stop was Big Sur. We both had already been in the area before but had never camped there. We found an awesome site on top of a mountain in Los Padres National Forest. The reviews and pictures in iOverlander said it had some fun 4×4 roads and is a great place to watch the sunset. They were right! See for yourself:
This is just the first of many sunsets that we will be experiencing on this trip. It was also a great place to look at the stars. There were a decent amount of people on top of this mountain with us, along with another roof top tent vehicle. This must be a popular place for a lot of people to come to and I can see why. It got a bit windy at night and we could hear the campers in tents moving their cars around to block the wind from blowing their tents away. Good thing ours is bolted to the car!
Our next stop is Ventura, CA to visit our first national park of the trip: Channel Islands National Park. Check out the next post to hear all about it!
