We didn't have far to travel as we head toward SF. I think we will make it tomorrow as we only have 41 miles to go... but we could get way-laid as one never knows what one will find along the way.
Today we took about 6 hours to travel 60 miles. There are 2 reasons for this... First the roads were really twisting as we traveled Route 1. We drove between 20 & 30 mph so we wouldn't have a wreck and it also allowed us to look around. It is a great drive! It would be an easier drive without the trailer but then we wouldn't have any place to sleep...
The second reason for the slow drive is that we kept stopping to enjoy the view and take a few pictures. Oh ya, we mustn't forget our lunch stop too. It is amazing to watch the wave crash into the rocks and to see how the landscape has changed over the years. If only we could harness the power of the waves...
At one of our stops, we saw a fisherman casting his net into the ocean. We are not sure what he was catching but it was a lot of little fish (?). Arda thinks he owns a bait shop... who knows, she may be right.
Another "strange" happening, for us anyway, was the weather. We woke up this AM to sunshine and 60 degree temps. The forecast for Santa Rosa (tonight's stop) was for temps in the high 90's to low 100's. Well all day we had temps in the 60's... that is until we turned away from the coast. Within 5 miles we had traveled over the "mountains" (more like low hills) and the temperature rose to 105. Since we knew the forecast we had already decided to stay at a campground with electricity so we could run the A/C. Are we glad we did.
That's all for now folks, until next time keep your loops open!
