You might consider Hollister Ca as well.

There are some good flights posted on OLC out of that location. I used to fly with B.A.S.A. out of noth California.

Matt, I assume you going to be in socal anyway during spring and want to find out where to soar there. I would consider Santa Ynez and Warner Springs. Otherwise, if I recall correct you live in the Bay Area, and I dont think there is a match anywhere to soaring in northern california during spring (March to May). You get fantastic soaring from Williams, Hollister, Byron, and Avenal during spring. Spring is usually too early for the Sierras and the deserts.
Best time for safaris to SoCal and all over the west is summer.

Thanks Ramy. I will keep summer in mind. This would be a trip specifically to fly. I have an RV, so I can just camp on site for 2-4 days in each place. I do indeed live in the east bay, and I have flown all the northern Cal places you mentioned. Great spots!
