We visited in San Diego, next stop San Clemente. Al & Kathy have secured us a great spot by the beach - San Onofre (of the Beach Boys song fame!) When we arrived, there was a sign taped to the picnic table.



We have the best spot - look at our view.



We love camping!



We join Kathy & Al for dinner at their home. We are about to sit down, and Al breaks out this amazing bottle of 1975 Sterling Vineyards Reserve Cabernet Savignon.... we are speechless... this wine is older than our children.... older than our motor home... "are you sure you want to open this incredible wine?" Al's answer was the best "HELLYA!" So we opened it and gently and carefully poured 4 glasses. It was amazing!! One of the best wines we have ever had. Thank you! Thank you!



Al & Kathy recommended Morro Bay as a next stop. We headed north. We are on the ramp to the freeway. WHAT WAS THAT? A big bang! We pulled off the freeway and found a mechanic. We were in luck. Not only did we find a mechanic, we found grandpa, grandson & great grandson at the garage.



While we chatted with grandpa, the younger two were under the coach looking for anything that may look suspicious.



The youngest was handing tools to his dad, dad was letting grandpa know that he couldn't see anything that looked weird. John & grandpa agreed that we were good to go, so we left. Great experience and no charge!

As we neared our destination, we passed Pismo Beach. Hey, don't Mary & Kirk live in Pismo Beach? I'm on the phone... Mary was home and would make the drive out! Yippee!

As we closed in, we saw the big rock at the entrance of Morro Bay. |We sailed in here with Scot Free Eh in 2012!



In about an hour, look who pulled in... It's Mary!



We had a wonderful visit! We missed Kirk - he was in Puerto Escondido on the boat. It was lovely to see you Mary!
