We arrived in San Diego yesterday and FINALLY got out of the desert. We traveled I-8 which has a long, long 10-mile incline before you get into San Diego. The magic bus did pretty well, I had her pinned to the floor and was doing 35. I’m beginning to like the word diesel more and more. But once we pulled into Mission Bay RV Park (the world’s most expensive parking lot) got out, and felt the 70-degree weather with a great breeze blowing, that $60 felt wonderful. Then Tonto reminded me about that wal mart overnight free thing. I told him from here on out in California, wal mart it would be, at least until Eureka where I want to check out Shoreline RV Park.
We had a wonderful time last night with some new friends, Kim and Jim. They made us a great homemade meal, took us on a super tour of SD and showed us some great hospitality. After being in the desert for six years with a horse with no name, it felt good to be out of the rain, oops, I mean the night was relaxing and fun.
Tonto awoke this morning with a desire to skim board and went over to Pacific Beach, I think. Since checkout wasn’t until noon, I decided to milk every last minute, every ounce of water and every kilowatt of electricity, of my sixty bucks. So yes I used the washing machine and dryer twice!! After checking out, I parked across the street at Mission Bay Park (I think) and waited for Tonto’s return.
Well upon his arrival he informs me the locals said La Jolla (pronounce La Hoya, not Lajolla like my gps systems says) is the best skim boarding. Well we have no place to be today so we make the decision to check it out, considering it was only 5 miles down the road. I have learned in 24 hours that any road that is not an interstate in California, is NOT RV friendly. I think in 5 miles I ran over 6 curbs and 3 old ladies. And c’mon folks lighten up on the horns; this thing is 36 feet long.
And another thing, I thought only San Francisco had those steep up and down hills? Wrong. I now have to send Tonto out on his bike to scout, which roads we can enter without leaving our bike lift to the Governor. Needless to say, the locals are correct about La Jolla. Tonto was so excited about the beach we are sitting in the wal mart parking lot in La Jolla for another day of skimming. I’m thinking he can ride the Victory down to the beach and I’ll just check out the clientele at the local wally world or try to find a RV friendly gas station in this state. God Bless, Art
