Which parks to visit in the last week before shutdown?

Letter

Folks

We have about a week before the state of California closes about 100 parks for a year or more. That is about 1/3 of the parks in California. The list is suppose to be released Tuesday 8 September.

Given that this is possibly your last chance, which parks/sites in the parks, would you chose to visit in these last few days? I’d like to start a discussion of ideas, especially for coastside/peninsula area parks (note that I do not know which will be closed and which will stay open).

HMB State Beaches?
Big Basin?
Burleigh Murray?
Butano?
Pigeon Point?
Henry Cowell Redwoods?
Wilder?
Carnegie?
Nisene Marks?
Olompali?
Portola Redwoods?
Seacliff?
Zmudowski?
Coe? (this one is very likely to be shut down)
Fremont Peak? (I have heard that this one will be shutdown)
Big Sur?
Pfeiffer Burns?
Point Lobos?
Natural Bridges?
Santa Cruz Beaches?
Sunset?
Castle Rock?
Mount Diablo?
Angel Island?
Tomales Bay?
Benicia?
Ano Nuevo?
And many more.

Thank you

Greg

(and yes, I do donate money to help the parks)
