Off To Morro Bay

We left home about noon for Morro Bay. It could have been earlier but we had a pretty nice show in the sky last night about 1:30a so we watched that for awhile. The thunder was louder than I think I have ever heard and the lightening went so far across the sky you couldn't see both sides! It was amazing, then it poured down rain. We aren't sure how long that lasted because we finally went back to bed once the thunder and lightening moved on and we closed the skylight!

We had an uneventful trip over. We stopped and got a snack out of the trailer around 1:30p at Kettleman City. There was a ton of traffic going east but not much going our direction. Temps were up to 85* on our way but once we hit the coast the gauge in the Jeep said 65* though my phone app showed 68* - regardless, it was fantastic! Clear skies with just a hint of the fog that we will see in the morning. The ocean was very calm as well.

We checked into Morro Beach State Park and I have to say the staff here is very nice and attentive. As we sat in our vehicle they actively met our needs, they even came out of the booth to write down our license plate. No one has done that in years! Typically you are told to park to the side and come back for a form to fill out. It was a nice touch. We have not stayed in this particular park before. You cannot walk to the beach from here but apparently there is a shuttle into town. I will find out details of that tomorrow, not that we will use it. There is a marina and a museum nearby. We'll check that out one of the days we are here. Not being right on the beach doesn't stop the popularity of the place, since it is full on a Sunday night! Of course, school is out in most places so families are vacationing. After setting up we relaxed, played cards, ate a dinner of leftovers from home, walked Tony, and read before heading to bed. This is the life! We are very spoiled!!!
