50 miles and a cool front

October 4, 2009
Oceano, CA

Today was "travel day". We didn't have far to go, since we were only going from Paso Robles to Oceano, just south of Pismo Beach. We did our packing up this morning and targeted for a 10:00 departure. With no effort at all, we were on the road around 9:30. With a quick stop in Paso Robles for diesel, we were soon tooling south on US-101.

We were about halfway through the short trip when we started to run into savage crosswinds. A combination of getting closer to the ocean and having a front go through brought 35 mph winds. Since the RV park we selected is right near the dunes, we'll have the wind with us until sometime tomorrow, according to Weather Underground. It looks like a clear week, though, so we'll have a good time. We were here a couple of years ago for a few days, so we have a list of things we'd like to do this time (Geri's favorite rock shop, Hearst Castle, San Luis Obispo, Morro Bay). We may even find a winery or two...  ;-)

Glad you had a great time with the wine tour. Good thing you have a tag axle to carry the weight of all that wine you probably bought.
