Buellton, CA
Today was a simple day. Get from one RV park to another: Oceano to Buellton. Since it was only 50 miles, we did our packing up and preparation in the morning and hit the road just after the 11:00 AM check-out time. We were at our next destination, Flying Flags RV Resort (named for the street it's on, Avenue of the Flags) in Buellton a little after noon. We were prepared for a wait to check in, since past experience told us they were sticklers on the 2:00 PM arrival time, but were pleasantly surprised to see that they've loosened up quite a bit since we were here last in March of 2008. We knew that they were doing site upgrades at that time, and were please to see the results this time. They leveled and graded most of the sites, installed new grass and small poured-concrete patios, and opened up the area with the judicious removal of some trees. We were able to get parked relatively easily (being an older park with upgraded sites, it's still quite tight for maneuvering), have a clear shot for a satellite signal, and took our time getting set up. We had a nice chili for dinner that Geri had made a few days in advance, allowing it to mellow and blend a bit. Paired with a value (Bogle) Zinfandel, it made for a nice travel-day meal.
