Plus I would definitely map out all the free rest stops
Like the one just north of mammoth exit, in the middle of the hwy.

Thanks all for the input - still getting ready to head out. When you say map out the free rest stops - are these rest stops you can sleep at? I have a roof-top tent that I plan to deploy...

You can sleep in a rest stop 8hrs, especially the ones big enough for simi

check with the Fresh and Salty folks too. Also bring something to stay warm in the fridgid waters of the north. Different world up there when it comes to water temperatures. Look up BLM land and dispersed camping for free places to stay. I will look for a link I use this site when looking for camping spots https://www.campendium.com. Use the filters to look at Free Camping and look at the map along your route for spots to stay. If you are going to stick to the coast look at Leffingwell launch ramp in Cambria. Good rockfishing there you can get fish reports from the Central Coast Kayak Fishing group on FB, might be able to hook up with one of theose folks.
