9/1     Anyone have any recommendations for locations to hike in Nor Cal?
        I am looking for somewhere I can hike around in the day and camp
        by my car for 1 night.  Also, a friend from work recommended somewhere
        that is a 4 hour drive away, I was wondering if people knew of any
        places a bit closer to go to?  I'd prefer somewhere that wasn't too
        super crowded and doesn't require reservations since I'd like to go
        this weekend.  Thanks motd! -mrauser
        \_ Are you going hiking by yourself? This isn't really the greatest
           idea, but you probably know that. I went to Henry Coe a few weeks
           ago and it was fun. It is a very primitive site, so it is mostly
           ago and it was fun. It is a very primitive park, so it is mostly
           unused and therefore you can just show up and get a site. The car
           camping sites will probably be all taken, but there are sites that
           are less than two miles from HQ that would surely be available.
           These are all dry sites, but at 2 miles, you can hike back to HQ
           to restock water. Oh, you can check and see if any car camping
           spots are still available and reserve one here:

           \_ I have someone to go with, I agree solo hiking is slightly
              risky.  It turns out, according to their booking service, that
              they are attempting to close/shut down henry coe state park.
              At least, they didn't have any reservations for this weekend.
              So... slight change of plans, we are driving down highway 1
              and staying near Monterey.  We were gunna make sure to drive
              around Big Sur coast, maybe stop by Hearst Castle, grab a meal
              or two around Monterey... any other advice for things to do? -op
              \- you can go hiking in Ventana I suppose. I'm not a huge fan
                 but it is ok (I prefer the Sierras to costal). I think solo
                 hiking on regular trails is safe if you have some experience.
                 You can also do creek hikes in Ventana, but that would be
                 best to go with a group. There is a pretty good bakery/
                 prepared food place on the way to Monterey ... I think THE
                 BAKERY of GAYLE in CAPITOLA which is worth a quick detour
                 off the Fwy. Can you check if the HACIENDA at FT HUNTER-
                 LIGGETT is open. ok tnx.
              \_ Definitely visit Point Lobos; relatively mellow hiking, but
                 great trees, tide pools, black stone beaches, and sea
                 otters.  Watch out for poison oak.  -tom
              \_ Bummer, sorry about that. I knew it was on the short list
                 to be shut down, I had no idea it would be this weekend. -a
        \_ I pace my bedroom and or the walls of my cube.  That is the way
           of the silivalleynerd.

5/26    Dear Bay Area residents, what's a good place to hike that is close
        to the south bay and is toddler friendly (flat, shaded, close to
        civilization)?
        \_ I like Henry Coe, but it is kind of far. You can always get in,
           even without a reservation, so that is nice.
        \_ Some possibilities are Rancho San Antonio, Sawyer Camp Trail

3/26    I've never been to Hawaii before, but I just booked a flight to
        Kauai for me and my gf (who has been to Oahu). I'd like some
        travel advice. Which side of the island to stay on, what not to
        miss, etc.
        \_ There's not a huge amount of choice as to "where to stay",
           it's a small island.  Shell out the $$$$ for a helicopter

11/6    What's a good vacation for less than $750/person for 5 days
        in mid to late November?
        \_ New York City is quite nice in November. You can even wear
           shorts and t-shirt. Be sure to visit aspolito. He's a really
           nice guy who would never jerk you around. Oh and he's gay
           and loves sodomizing pollux.

A Typical Coe Park Scene Coe Park is a rugged, spacious, and largely undeveloped expanse of ridges, canyons, creeks, valleys, and vistas. The park is a paradise for people who want to temporarily trade the conveniences of cities and suburbs for the wonders and challenges of true wilderness. Camping in Coe Park, either close in or in the backcountry, is a great way to get to know the park. When you spend the night at Coe, you might be sung to sleep at night by a chorus of coyotes and awakened in the morning by the gobbling of wild turkeys. Car Camping in the Headquarters Campground The campground at park headquarters, located on top of an open ridge at 2,600 feet, has breathtaking views across the ridges and canyons of the backcountry. The 20 drive-in sites in the campground can be reserved. Sites that haven't been reserved are available on a first-come, first-served basis, but the campground often has vacant sites except on busy spring and summer weekends and major holiday weekends. Backpacking in the Park Some backpackers come to the park for the first time because they've heard it's a good place to get in shape for Sierra backpacking trips. They usually expect to find rugged country but are often unprepared for the gorgeous scenery they encounter and the sense of seclusion they find in the vast landscapes of the park. Most return year after year, not to get in shape, but because they've fallen in love with Coe Park. Group Camping Coe Park has ten hike-in group campsites at the southeast end of Pine Ridge in an area called Manzanita Point. At the bottom of the ridge, in a shady little valley called Poverty Flat, there's another area where groups can camp.
