After spending last week in Jalama beach, and making the drive to and from the camp site to Goleta (the town, about an hour away) i realized how much I missed living not surrounded by people. I miss open space and nature so much. I'll post more tonight. I have a bunch of amazing pictures and adventures to share with you guys.
Of course, those in CA also need that escape. You have also been blessed with some amazing public lands, even if you have to share with the other 50M residents. You should check out the Lost Coast, which is perhaps some of the wildest country left in CA. You should walk the 26 mile wilderness coastline, but could also just set up camp in one of several campgrounds. Bring your bike too, for miles of ocean view riding.
