Epic Road Trip 2017 - Day #13

Today we woke up in Monterey, CA and slept in a bit for us.  We took our time getting ready and went to the Del Monte Farmer's Market and got some fruit and veggies for the next couple of days of camping.  We hit the road for Salt Point State Park, our next destination.  We gassed up a ways down the road in Sand City, CA and chose to go over the San Rafael Bridge into Northern California.



We had done the Golden Gate Bridge before and wanted to go the cheaper and less busy route this time.  Once we got across the bridge we went to Ikoi Sushi for lunch in San Rafael, where Katy got some delicious seafood udon noodles.


In the afternoon we made it to our campsite at Salt Point SP.  We stayed on the Woodside loop, which is more secluded and less windy than the other side.



Our evening's entertainment was to watch the sunset at Salt Point.  It was a bit chilly and windy, but the sunset was absolutely stunning!  Katy got some great pictures and we came back to camp and got ready for the next day's adventures.



What We Learned: Today we learned that one of the most expensive places to live in the world is San Jose. With all the technology industry, higher education facilities, and the coastal location, San Jose is a very desirable place to live.  It has the highest real-estate prices in the country, and the third highest GDP per capita in the world.

For the day we traveled 222.2 miles and saw 19 state license plates
