| Hearst Castle |
If you are traveling down Route 1 in California, you absolutely must make a stop at
Hearst Castle in San Simeon. This is a town in the middle of nowhere but it is right on Route 1 so if you are on that drive anyway, this is a good place to rest. We stayed at the
Silver Surf Motel which is pretty basic but the rooms are clean, the beds are comfortable and they give you discount meal tickets for the restaurant next door. I also didn't even bother turning on the A/C in our room and just opened a window because the temperatures drop significantly on this stretch of the West Coast, even in the summer. I get a kick out of breathing fresh air and Northern California has that perk in spades.
