A Drive Down Hwy.101

We left Paso Robles this morning – but it was LATE morning.  We meant to get started earlier and then Russ started visiting with our neighbor and before he knew it, it was after 11 a.m.  Our neighbor, Bob Estrada and his wife Diane, were really nice folks.  She is a water color artist and he owns a Mexican restaurant in San Diego, Old Town Mexican Cafe.  He said all the food there is homemade, including the tortillas.  If we make it to San Diego, we will definitely give his place a try.

Russ went out this morning and took a few pictures of the park before we left.  It was quite chilly and the steam could be seen rising from the swimming pool.



The park is part of a winery and there is a walking path to the winery adjacent to the park.  We didn’t visit the winery but Poppy did enjoy walking the path.




Here’s Therapy all nestled in her parking spot.  We chose a gravel lot, right next to the concrete pads but $10 less!  All lots have a grass strip shared by two rigs and a couple of picnic tables.  The Wi-fi connection was great and they have cable TV hook-ups.



This place could rival Disneyland for cleanliness!  Russ found a beautiful honeysuckle vine on his walk.

 

And the moon was still visible over the palm fronds.



A quick stop at the Paso Robles Wal-Mart and we were headed down 101 en-route to Oxnard, California.   The drive down 101 is always scenic and today was no exception.  We were running late so didn’t get in any stops but I did get this shot out the window.  This is one of the resorts in Pismo Beach.  I can see why they like to come here as it is absolutely gorgeous, but these rigs are sure parked in there cheek to jowl.  This must be one of the larger parks in the area.



I have been impressed with some of California’s rest areas.  This is another beautiful one we stopped in today along Hwy 101.  Russ took all these photos too.  Thanks Russ!







I love these markers for the historic El Camino Real. 



By the time we got settled tonight it was again too dark for photos but I will post some of this park tomorrow.  This place is quite different from where we stayed last night!  Don’t believe everything you see online!!  Someone has a REALLY good eye for taking the most pleasing shots available and perhaps a little enhancing along the way.  Anyway, you’ll see what I mean tomorrow.  As for now, I’m tired and gonna hit the sack.  Good night all.
