California Dreamin'

[alpenglow]

I've been obsessed the last few days planning a two-week road trip to California in June (the Z4's last hurrah before it gets sold). I could play around in MapPoint all day long (and more or less did this weekend) trying to design an optimal path through the state that maximizes all the things we want to see.

Anyone have suggestions for (non-obvious) must-see sights, or their favorite places to stay?
