It may look cold and foggy and it is, but still it is a beautiful place. Located 3 hours north from San Fransico, it is the techno-phobes paradise. No TV, no telephone, no cell phone reception ...ect..ect... The inhabitants are mostly aging hippies or rich yuppies but the atmosphere cannot be contained. Almost truley isolated, it's the perfect vacation spot.
I had a wonderful time. My girlfriend Tiffany and I left Wednesday morning to undertake the 5 hour trip (where I got to test out my new GPS tracking unit (Magellon Xtreme) ), and arrived at the beach house we had rented. |

-Aside point: First night we told each other we love each other.
Definatley recommed going, nice hotels, nice people great beaches! |
