The theme of this trip was COOOOOLLLLDDD! The low was 23 with a “feels like” 15 degrees, and very windy! In our pop up we used a propane heater and we were so glad to have it! On the first night there was even snow flurries! We stayed at Black Rock Campground (Site 68) which…

Camp Pendleton-Del Mar RV Resort Nov 2017
Our church has an adults-only RV Group (fur-babies allowed) that goes camping about 4 times a year and this was our first time joining them. You can only camp here if you are military or hosted by military personnel (active or retired), and there are several veterans in our group. You have to be “on…
San Elijo State Beach – July/August 2017
We were able to get this reservation at San Elijo SB very last minute but it wasn’t an ocean view site. In our section there were actually 4 rows (some parts of the loops have just 2 or 3 rows) and we were in the 2nd row from the ocean. The trains were REALLY loud without…
Summer Vacation June 2017 – Part 3 Yosemite-Wawona Campground
Our plan was to enter Yosemite via the Arch Rock Entrance since we’d never been there before, but there had been a rock fall in the area of the 140, so we went south and took the entrance near Fish Camp. We’d never stayed at Wawona Campground before and were pleasantly surprised. We were in…
Summer Vacation June 2017 Part 2 – Half Moon Bay State Beach and San Francisco
We left Pismo Beach (see Part One of our trip) on Tuesday morning and made our way first to Monterey, CA to the Monterey Cemetery. My brother passed away in 2015 and I hadn’t been to the graveside since his funeral, and hadn’t seen his marker. I left some rocks I had painted and flowers….
Summer Vacation June 2017 Part 1 – Pismo Beach and Solvang, CA
We left early on a Friday morning to head to our first destination in Pismo Beach, but we wanted to take a quick detour and stop in Solvang. First, parking. I did a little research beforehand and found that the Solvang Veterans Memorial Hall has a big parking lot and allows RVs free daytime parking!…
Memorial Weekend 2017 – Santee Lakes, CA
This was our 4th time at Santee Lakes and we’ve always loved coming here. While we did have some nice times on this trip, we also had some disappointing things happen. First, the good parts. We stayed in Site 161 in Willow Loop. The site is at the end of the loop and it’s a…
Yosemite National Park – Crane Flat Campground – June 16-21, 2016
None of us had ever been to Yosemite before, and this was only our 2nd camping trip ever. My dear Dad had lived with us for about 12 years, and the last several years of his life were very difficult. After several months of hospice, he passed away in late April 2016. I’m grateful for…
Our First Camping Trip in the PUP – Santee Lakes CA – May 2016
For our first camping trip we decided we didn’t want to venture too far away from home, just in case there were any problems. We also wanted to have full hookups. Santee Lakes in San Diego County, CA was actually recommended to us by the guy who sold us his PUP, and it was just…
