San Francisco - RV vacation experiences and pictures

San Francisco California

San Francisco California has great views, incredible shopping, talented street entertainers, and the infamous wild and crazy China Town. The boys were just about mortified with it's raw meat and food market complete with buckets of black frogs, bizarre live fish, live turtles, whole chickens and ducks in the windows, and every kind dried sea creature and animal imaginable. Unfortunately the kids got bored within two days but Kelly and I could stay a year and still love it. The world famous Pier 39 Sea Lions were gone for the season, which was a huge disappointment. We made the biggest navigational mistake of our life and of this trip by taking highway 1 North out of San Francisco on our way to the Russian River. After six terrifying hours of 15 mph, hairpin turns, steep brake smoking unmarked descents, bad roads, etc. in our 38 foot Class A RV, we gave up, cut over to Highway 101, and discovered we were only 40 miles from San Francisco. Big rv'ers do NOT ever take Highway 1 North out of the city.

California offers such diverse flora and fauna that any vacation to the west coast is nothing short of awesome and memorable. The pacific ocean is full of life and there is no better way to see its beauty from one end of California to the other than the Pacific Coast Highway also known as Highway 1. San Francisco's China Town is definitely a must visit with its grocery stores, shopping, and people from all walks of life. We thought the restaurants in San Francisco are well priced and generally of high quality. Vacation the California coast and San Francisco.
