California Desert to Coast (2017/18 Snowbird Trip Update)

In this video, we travel from the Mojave desert of southern California north through the Great Central Valley and west over the coastal mountains to the Pacific Ocean near Redwood National Park. I show you our route using Google Maps satellite views and camp locations using still photos, and video clips.

In between the desert and the coast, we stop over at two casinos to take advantage of free overnight RV parking. We also visit the private lands of friends near Hollister and Tracy, CA.

Being springtime the scenery is full of bright green hills, leafy trees, and colorful blooms. The weather is mild not too hot and not too cold. My favorite time of year in California. The stop near Tracy was extra special since we were boondocking in the middle of a vast vineyard, next to an airstrip. In the video clip see my beagle run away!
