Spent some time in Big Sur, CA. We stayed at Big Sur Campground. This campground is a challenge to get to. It is located on US-1 (Pacific Coast Highway) which is a challenge to drive in a car let alone a motorhome. The campground is located among big redwoods, so there was no satellite at all. Also no cable. I think it is because highway department does not want people talking, texting, etc while driving US-1.

We drove through Carmel-by-the-Sea. Due to Easter weekend, it was overcrowded. Could not find a place to park so we kept on going to Monterey. Walked around the beach had lunch, on the pier and took the 17-mile drive around the Monterey Pennisula (they charge 9.75 - but well worth the drive. You pass at least 4 golf courses (including Pebble Beach) and water view all along the way. This was one of Thumper's favorite places. Lots of dogs on the beach.
