Didn’t sleep well last night which is normal for the first night anytime we travel. But hey we are at the beach. We got up, dressed, made coffee, tea and headed to the beach with our Halloween coffee mugs. 







Yep folks…those are bear tracks in the sand. We found them as we walked out to the beach. The tracks headed to the garbage cans….imagine that. There are bear warning signs everywhere in the campground. We will have to keep a look out.  I wonder what kind of bear it was and big?









What a beautiful beach. Watching the waves crash against the shore is always something we enjoy. The ocean is powerful, and Barry always reminds me to never turn my back on it. We headed toward the right and walked as far as we could. I noticed something bright up against the hillside and climbed up to see. It was a huge piece of seaweed and red. To see what the water has done to the hillside is amazing, sand piled up against it, crevices carved into the side, holes that look like caves. The wonders of Mother Nature. 

                                                                  





We headed back and decided to take photos of our Halloween mugs. Pretty silly but we love doing that kind of crazy stuff. After we walked to the other end of the beach. This end has the creek that flows into the ocean and riptides according to the map. We met two Labradors and their human taking a walk. Friendly boys and the older one gave me a kiss. Almost everyone in this campground has a dog or two or three. 






We stood at this end for a while and was mesmerized by the ocean waves coming in and out. The pelicans where fishing and to watch them dive into the ocean was fun. There must have been a hundred of them. I wonder what they were eating. 



Later in the afternoon we took chairs and sat close to the water and just watched the surf and listened to the ocean. So peaceful. 

For dinner we cooked shrimp scampi over pasta….yummy meal. Before Barry finished his meal, he said he was going to watch the sunset. I was hungry so I stayed to eat. I waited for about ten minutes and no Barry. I finished my meal and went out to the beach. I found him sitting on a picnic table. He was taking a time lapse of the sunset. I sat with him, and we watched the sun go down. Again, nothing like the beach. I think he really misses the beach. 



We came back and Barry finished his dinner then built a fire. We made s’mores!!! From other blog posts you know we love s’mores. This time we made them with Hershey’s dark chocolate. 

The best day ever!!!

"A good man does not take what belongs to someone else." (Pueblo Proverb) 1 We stopped to get gas in Tehachapi, and I left my phone in the bathroom. I went back to check, and it was gone... Damn'it!!!! Asked everyone in the place if anyone had turned it in, and of course not. So we told the rest of the group to go ahead and we will catch up. Used the MyFind app to turn it off. Called T-Mobile to suspend my account. I reset important passwords just in case. I felt devastated. We took off and talked about whether to replace it or not. I was not a happy camper.  The drive was harrowing. Over San Bernadino mountains, Bristol mountains (2700 ft.), down through Mojave National Monument, over and down the Sacramento Mountains into Needles. We experienced cross winds most of the drive, which made it hard to drive straight.    I called ahead and found a T-Mobile store in Bullhead City. Once we hooked up, we drove to Bullhead City, passing through California, Arizona, California th

My Man! Steps today - 14,442 Saturday, and so much for sleeping in. The Reynolds daughter Brook, son-in-law Aaron, granddaughter Kensley, and grandson Arik arrived this morning. Soon we heard Kensley and Arik at our door to say hello. They seemed excited to see us, and they gave big hugs to both of us. Then, they told us about school, and everything they have been doing, as much as an 8 and 10-year-old can say to you. Then back over to abuela and papa's RV.  Soon after, we were off to Pismo Beach. We drove to the left, went as far as we could, then turned around and headed toward the far-end gate. The part of the beach you can drive on was so short compared to before, but it was due to the recent storms. The Reynolds were ahead of us, and as we passed the first gate, a guy flagged us down. His truck was stuck, and he needed a tow to get out of the hole he was in. Barry said sure, and I texted the others to let them know what was happening. They pulled off of the beach highway and w

Pacific Coast Village Site #382 JEEPS - 5 (Tuesday), 22 (Thursday) We left home on Monday, June 26th , for Pismo Beach. We are staying at Pismo Coast Village RV Resort for the first time. They have 400 sites. We made the reservations six months ago. We normally stay at Oceano State Beach RV Park, but we wanted to try this place. We are here with Jan & Ken Reynolds. This place does not let you choose a site; they will only tell you your site number the morning you check-in. This is also a place you can join for $50,000, and you get the first pick of sites...ridiculous. You can store your RV at the resort storage across the street. If you are a member, they will bring your RV to your site for you, one perk for the fifty grand. We checked in around 4:30 PM on Monday. The Reynolds are two sites from us and checked in about thirty minutes before us. Check-in time is 4:00 PM. We hooked up and headed to Old Juan's Cantina in Oceanside. We love this place, especially its huge margarit
