Another leisurely morning (seems to be a habit). We were moving on the road a little before 10am. First stop was Costco. I found a loose lug nut on the right rear tire so I stopped by for them to tighten it. The tires are about 90 days new. We were out in about 10 minutes all fixed up. While we were there, we picked up a package of our friends, the blue shop towels that we use for everything.
Next stop was Loleta to restocked our cheese supply. Then we stopped in Fortuna at a video store that Dawn wanted to visit. We also went by Safeway in the same shopping center.
Next stop, Scotia. On our last visit here we picked up a bunch of ham ends at $.69/lbs at the market there. It was great ham for everything from beans, to sandwiches, to steaks. Much cheaper than lunch meat. They still had it. Evidently they get it from their deli. When it starts to curve, they must trow it in a pile for sale in the market. Hey, a bargain is a bargain.
We finally actually left town heading South on Highway 101 to Highway 1 and the coast. When we got down off the mountain we came across Union Landing State Beach. It's on a short bluff with the waves coming right up to the base of the bluff. The camp sites are at the top of the bluff and Highway 1 is right on the other side. This is a primitive campground with no trees. It's a bit foggy now but probably about 65 degrees. Really nice.
Our campsite is quite nice here at Union Landing SB. Right over a nice beach. Access to walk on the beach is a little challenging though.
Monday:
We decided to stay another night. It's really nice here, nice ocean view and quite (little traffic). Breakfast was one of Lou's omelets and sliced apple. Night before last, Lou was in a cooking mood and prepared a nice strudel for desert, some spaghetti and sausages, and an omelet. That took the chill off the night and left us with several breakfasts, lunches and dinners. Isn't the microwave wonderful!
Our neighbors left and there was a nice smoldering log left in their fire pit. That log along with our half burnt log from last night made a nice morning fire in no time. It's still foggy, visibility about 1/2 a mile, so the fire seemed nice. It isn't good for our solar generation though.
A nice buzzard (at least it looks like one). A bunch of sea birds on a rock off shore.
A centipede (or other caterpillar) on the road in camp. A bunny at our campsite.
An arch in the rocks below the bluffs near the campground. Some missing road on the old Highway 1 which is the road in the campground.
Tuesday:
We got up at went out to the beach for a walk.
It's a nice beach just below our campsite but only accessable at low tide. We found some interesting polished shells and glass. We also found two waterfalls, eack about 30 feet.
