El Capitan Beach, CA
We wrapped up the rally yesterday and had a nice dinner at a local Mexican restaurant with Wayne and Eva. The portions were huge, and we all took some home. Geri had hers for breakfast, but I'm saving my carnitas for lunch over the next few days.
This morning we had plenty of time to pack up all the gear and get ready to leave. We had scheduled ourselves to be weighed (OK, to have our coaches weighed with us in them) at 11:30 AM, but we were ready to go at 10:30. We hung around for a bit and then got in line for the weigh station.
The weighing is done by a company that specializes in going to RV rallies and events. They have portable scales that they slide under each wheel position. In our case, that's six positions, since we have three axles. We do the weighing thing about once a year to make sure we're not overloaded by axle or tire. Our results came out very good this time, although I may be able to move some things around to shift weight. It seems like that's a constant process.
We left Pomona around noon and were parked at our spot west of Santa Barbara by 3:00 PM. We're at a private RV park right near El Capitan State Park. This place is relatively new, with concrete pads for each site and paved roads all around. Here are a couple of pictures:
The park has quite a bit of slope, but each site is nicely terraced.
It's pretty cloudy right now, but the sun was getting ready to set over the Pacific as I was walking around...
