Morro Bay, California

Saturday, July 3, 2010

We left Las Vegas early to beat the heat and headed to the California coast. Only stopped twice, once to fill up with gas and again to retreive gas cap. Something else that puzzled us was the number of spots along the shoulder of the highway that was obviously where a vehicle had been on fire. I suppose there are a number of reasons for this phenomenon, but I chose spontaneous combustion. It was unbelievable the temperature difference or delta T from the southern end of Nevada to the coast. The campground we chose is one we dubbed the Steele Creek campground of Morro Bay. Our camping friends should know what I mean. Sometime during the night someone's car horn kept going off. I am certain nobody in the campground was asleep.

One of our friends, we'll call him a non-idiot, told us to look for this exit as we entered California. Unbelievably, there actually was such an exit. My first thought was wondering how to pronounce such a word. I decided it would be pronounced like it is spelled. Sammy quietly said, "aww California, the land of fruits and nuts".

Addie on Morro Bay beach. It was actually cold there.

Sammy found something for Nina to eat.

We enjoyed the fire and cooking supper over it. We had to wear sweaters and didn't even turn on the air conditioner that night. Almost needed to turn on the heat the next morning.
