Travel Day. Got up and broke up camp. Left at 8:30 a.m. for our next stop, the Fremont Elks Lodge 2121. We witnessed a bad accident on Interstate 101. The motorhome appeared destroyed. That slowed us down a bit; however, we used the time to fix our lunch. Other than that, nothing out of the usual happened.

Went to Walmart for some supplies: a 32 1SD Card for the Atoto; Paper Plates and Bowls; a Bath Mat; Knee Pads; Sandals; Tea . . . . Fixed Tacos with Guacamole watched a little TV then bed. Tomorrow San Francisco.

Good internet for $5.00 for a 24-hour period. The internet was good enough that we were able to watch ‘Game of Thrones.’ ($5 per device though ☹)

We took our bikes out for their first ride on this trip. Fun way to explore the campsite.

Spent the afternoon with Rose, husband Dave and Brother Jimmy. We went to enjoy the Oso Flaco Lake Trail in the Oceano Dunes.

“Oso Flaco Lake Trail offers a hike with easy-going appeal. The nearly level trail takes a boardwalk over a 75-acre birdlife-boasting lake and across sand dunes to a tucked-away beach and a viewpoint overlooking the Guadalupe-Nipomo Dunes. These are the largest dunes on the coast of Southern California, but Oso Flaco Lake Trail is a short hike at just 2-miles round trip.”
