Ah, the hippie magnet of the coast
Beautiful, but so weird. I'm in Monterey until the end of the year. I've been up to Santa Cruz a few times and there's just so many burned out hippies. It's ridiculous.[/QUOTE]
Indeed. Such a terrible situation in Santa Cruz. My family is still there, totally lost and believing they are ultra spiritual. I hear that it's become a pretty gross place over the last 6 yrs. I am so grateful to God for rescuing my children and I from that place.
But, the redwoods are totally worth checking out. There is an Orthodox church on Hwy 9 in Ben Lomond you might want to visit or at least drive by. I used to drive past it all the time. It has a beautiful mural of a saint (or maybe Jesus) surrounded by redwoods and animals.
