Pretty stoked for July - driving down to Lassen Volcano NP, tent camping at Manzanita Campground for two nights. From there, well drive down to Three Rivers, CA for a hotel stay, freshen up, grab some grub then hit Eshom Campground for 2 nights. Hoping to explore Sequoia/Kings' from there, but having never been, I'm certainly open to suggestions!
We will then drive down to Big Bear and stay at my cousin's house for 3 nights. I definitely want to hit Joshua Tree but know it'll be HOT as hell in July, so don't anticipate doing too much hiking or anything. Would love some ideas or suggestions on things to do and see from Big Bear as our base for 3 nights. Also happy to just relax and enjoy the lake. My cousin will have a ton of ideas for us too as they've owned this house for a while and rent it out as an ABnB.
Then off to Scottsdale for a week. In July. As you do. Other than making
@Bob Sacamano come drink with me, I got nothing planned here. Just time with wife's family. I know the guys want to golf TPC Scottsdale, but I'm not good enough to consider that.
We'll probably just high tail it back to Oregon, but my kids desperately want to stay in Los Angeles for a night, so we'll do that. I've heard there's a great hotel called Zachari Dunes on Mandalay Beach, so curious if anybody has thoughts there. Would also take suggestions on a fun place to stay in the Bay Area for another night.
