Little Help?

Does anyone have any trail beta on backpacking in the southern half of Los Padres? I'm thinking maybe San Rafael or Dick Smith Wilderness areas the weekend before I have to work Tour of CA stuff. I've a tremendous yen to get out to the hills where I belong instead of this fugging city where I live for the next 6 to 11 months. I'd like to do a 2-night trip, with a base camp at the first night so I can do some longer day-hike ranging before hiking out. Any insights are appreciated!
