Malibu Beach RV Park, Malibu, CA
Continuing our trek south, we made one last stop along the coast before we turned inland on our way back to our winter place in Arizona. Today was a slightly longer driving day but that’s relative to the very short hops we’ve been making lately. At about 140 miles, we definitely weren’t worn out! Our route was fairly simple: back on US-101, south to Oxnard, cut across local streets (Rice Road) to CA-1, then continue south to Malibu.
We’ve been to this park before, with our first RV, The LearningMobile. Right after we got it, in the fall of 2003, I was able to cobble together two weeks of vacation with holidays falling the right way, and we had about three weeks to travel. We went to Alabama, then decided to head for Las Vegas. Once there, we felt that we needed to see the Pacific, so we came here. I can’t believe that was almost 10 years ago.
We got a nice pull-through site, not completely level but we managed to get parked OK. We didn’t realize how closely spaced the sites were until other coaches started pulling in beside us! Of course, it’s all location-location-location in these high-rent district parks, so you take what you get. The power is good and it’s a full hook-up site, so we are good for a few days.
We’ve basically relaxed for the past few days. I took several walks along the PCH (Pacific Coast Highway) in both directions, 3-4 miles each. We took a ride up through Malibu Canyon toward Calabasas and Thousand Oaks to do some shopping, and back north on the PCH to Camarillo and Oxnard for the same. I though about heading down to Santa Monica to the big Apple store there to see about an iPhone upgrade, but that appears to be economically impractical until we meet some “magic date” with Verizon. Patience, George; patience...
We’ve pretty much completed our “night before” travel preparations, since we’ve got the longest segments in quite a while coming up.
