Driving from Santa Cruz to Portola Redwoods State Park on a Wed evening during rush hour traffic. I think Hwy 17 is pretty bad during this time?
What about Hwy 1?

Thanks.

Hey thanks for reading! I’m engaged and it is my boy’s dream to get married in the redwoods. He really wants it to look like a fairy tale and I think that would be wonderful. The thing is we are having a hard time finding an affordable place to do it without it being super minimalist.
We want the ceremony and reception in the same place if possible and would like an option to camp if possible. We are looking at a budget of about 5-8k.
Located in San Francisco, CA…but wouldn’t mind traveling within about 50 miles.
Thanks for all the input! I’m looking forward to checking these sites out.
Anyone know of any parks near san francisco that have redwoods and possible wedding spots?

My wife and I bought a little "starter kit" on a vacation and got two sprouts (and have followed all watering instructions), but one of them has since dried up and died. We’re afraid for the other one — what can we do to keep it alive (it’s about 2 inches tall)?

My family & I are going to take a road trip towards northern California (from Los Angeles) and stop by Sacramento first. We have a week, so I was wondering what are other good stops to pass by for the time and budget that we have. We were thinking about going to Oregon? Any recommendations? Thanks!

We like big trees, winding roads (will be on a sports car), ocean view if possible and maybe under 0 per night. Crater lake lodges were booked and we’re looking for some alternative. It will be our 20th aniversary trip with no kids for the first time. Appreciate your help.

We’re not sure if we’ll be camping or get a hotel. Where can we camp? What cities should we look at for a hotel room?

What was your favorite family vacation when you were a child or went on with your own children??
Mine was when I was 10 and my parents and I went to Northern California and went to the Redwood Forest. Absolutley BEAUTIFUL there! Something I will never forget! 🙂

I’ve been searching everywhere for a pretty, inexpensive outdoor place for a wedding (like a farm, barn, redwoods, cabin, etc), but haven’t had any success. I’d really appreciate any feedback!!

I just got a call about a teaching job at North Grand High School in the Humboldt Park area. Is it safe? How does it compare to some of the other areas?

i need a place to see both redwoods and sequoias found close to each other or in the same place in california. does anybody have any good parks or cities?
are there any places near each other in central california where i can drive to one then the other? i think you can find redwoods on the coast but i don’t know exactly where and same with sequoias.
