The locations you guys mentioned sound great. What about drives that go through "foresty" areas?

I always been keen to experience hanging out with the locals. What would be the best way to do that for a lone traveller?
Speed limit is typically 55 MPH, but if you go less than 67, you get honked at, but that's maybe just New York

The only weird road rule is the one I mentioned: Left on red is cool after you've come to a complete stop.

Big Sur while heavily coastal is also gloriously foresty for much of it. It's the best of both worlds. But head further North and you'll see the amazing Redwood Forest.

Best way to hang out with the locals is to simply open your mouth. As soon as Americans hear an Australian accent, they'll flock to you
