Have a great trip with your son James, it sounded like a fun father-son outing when we talked week before last!
I always loved camping out of my 914, & we used to do it on our semi-annual Rte. 1 "double the speed limit" rally to SF I was telling you about - where we just parked & rolled out our sleeping bags/pads on the dunes at Moss Landing, before they changed the rules there. Great beach walk before/after breakfast there! Maybe you can still get a camping rez there?
Have Fun!
Tom
