In the Water

After spending several days with family in SoCal, and making sure that everything was OK with them, we left this morning with Fall in the air.  We knew it was Fall because it was two degrees cooler this morning than yesterday.  Winter brings a dramatic 10 degree drop in temps, so you always know when it's Summer or Winter in Southern California. It's brutal!

A short drive north brought us to Pismo Beach.  Donna and I have spent many happy times here with our kids over the years, and the beach here still amazes. We set up camp at the Pismo Beach Village RV Park in sites 77 and then 366. Number 77 was suitable for a tent trailer, so after driving around in circles throughout the park, we finally settled in 366 which is long enough for Nessie, but is totally dirt, which is disappointing for an RV "Resort" that charges upscale prices. The neighbors are great, helping us back in, but the advertised wifi is not connectable, and the rv's are stuffed in here like sardines. Not quite our cup of tea, but perfectly acceptable for a few days.

This afternoon we walked to the beach to watch the birds play in the shallow water as the tide receded.

And to dip a toe in the Pacific Ocean.

At 6:15, the sun set; a sight that we haven't seen in roughly 5 months.
