Don’t Miss Heinold’s First and Last Chance Saloon
Heinold’s First and Last Chance Saloon is where Jack London spent much of his time dreaming up stories of adventure. Stop in to this one room saloon that’s located in Oakland, California as you make your way south. It’s a gem and not too far from San Francisco. Set up at a local campground, then explore this and the City By the Bay.

Rounding It Out – Snorkel With Sharks!
Hit the souther part of California, specifically La Jolla in August and you’ll be delighted to find a wide range of adventures, but nothing as daring as snorkeling with leopard sharks. During the month of August these sharks give birth off the coast of La Jolla.
Grab some snorkel gear, hit the water, and watch these incredible creatures up close. And don’t worry, they aren’t known to be aggressive. As always, use caution and common sense. Look, but don’t touch. And don’t jump in the water with raw meat. Hey, we had to say it. 🙂
