Part 1: Days 30 - 31
 |
| Drought challenged farmers in California need more water. |
We each have departure chores. Wayne took extra time disconnecting our utilities, then came in saying, "This isn't good."
The attachment flanges from the sewer cap broke off. Wayne used duct tape to make a temporary fix while I looked up RV repairs shops along our route towards Morro Bay.

| Our Sunseeker at the Paso Robles Delta RV service bay. |
They were also able to have their service department install a replacement for the rear awning cap that we broke last September in our Gotcha Covered RV storage spot. We've been carrying the replacement part around with us waiting for an opportunity like this.
Within an hour, we were back on the road ready to continue our Snowbird RV Adventure. Our route from the Central Valley to the coast took us over Highway 41.
 |
| Highway 41 still had some trees with fall foliage. |
It passes through oak covered hills, grazing lands for cattle, avocado orchards and vineyards, especially as you approach Paso Robles.
 |
| Pull-through Site #23 at Morro Bay State Park. |
We made it to our destination, Morro Bay State Park, just before dark.
December 4: Rain returned overnight, but cleared again. We fixed our breakfast then went out for a walk around Morro Bay State Park. It has quite a history. Morro Bay has been a popular tourist destination since the 1890s. The Cabrillo Country Club went out of business in the 1929 crash and the State took possession. President Roosevelt’s New Deal Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) transformed the former country club into a State Park in 1934.
 |
| Historic restrooms, tables and fire pits are still maintained. |
 |
| The Peninsula trail from the marina out to the point. |
The rain clouds came and went so taking pictures was good (for sunsets) and not so good (for land shots).
We've been able to enjoy our destinations despite the rain. It hasn't been steady and there have been sunny breaks in between.
 |
| Morro Rock and Morro Bay State Park Marina |
We enjoyed our stay at Morro Bay but didn't make it to town. That was about to change with our next destination. -- Wayne and Margy

Maybe living in the rainy north has changed our attitude towards it. - Margy
DeleteThat's my dream to travel around in an RV. Love the photos, I have never been there.
ReplyDeleteLast year we rented one for a month to try it out. I think that's a good way to start before you make a big investment.- Margy
DeleteGreat series, Margy. I've been following you on FB.

Thanks. I see your comments and likes there all the time. - Margy
Deletegood to hear you got back on the road without too many dramas, and were able to enjoy your stay at Morrow. Happy travels and thank you for visiting my blog this week.
ReplyDeleteWe've found almost every middle sized town, especially near tourist destinations, has some kind of RV repair sales and service. That's good to know when you get away from major highways. - Margy
Delete...I love see the monolith in the ocean, it reminds me of the Oregon coast. Enjoy your stay.
ReplyDeleteIt is one of seven volcanic plugs that lead from the inland to Morro Rock at the edge of the ocean. - Margy
DeleteOh what a wonderful life!
ReplyDeleteIt really is a lot of fun. - Margy

ReplyDeletethis sounds so fun, i have always wanted to buy an RV and travel the united states!!

Thanks for coming by and taking the time to comment. - Margy
DeleteMargy - sounds like you handled your malfunctions with aplomb. Well done! Your collage at the end of the post is marvelous. Thanks for keeping everyone at Mosaic Monday abreast of your journey!
ReplyDeleteWhen you drive long distances, something is bound to go wrong. Having an RV plan for such incidents sure helps. - Margy
DeleteThere is much to know about this type of travel! That, and the weather! I'm enjoying it!
ReplyDeleteGlad you are coming along for the ride. You get lots of good traveling in as well. I enjoy your trips and walkies in the woods. - Margy
DeleteSeems like you are well prepared to handle unexpected events. This is what retirement should be enjoying your travels in your RV and discovering new places. Happy travels!
ReplyDeleteWe try to be. I think living up the lake away from town has taught us how to be prepared and self-sufficient. We have been retired for fourteen years now. We have just added RVing to our list of things to enjoy. - Margy
DeleteLove that photo of Hwy. 41. It shows off Fall on the Central Coast well. That's another road we haven't taken in over 10 years.
