The journey back East.
Manteca, CA: The journey back had a scheduled stop in Manteca, CA at the Thousand Trails Turtle Beach for us to give the coach a once over. I changed the oil and planned on replacing brake pads on the rear brakes. Upon inspecting the pads I realized I needed to...
Sonoma County, California: As far north as we go.
More Images from Sonoma County >> Arriving into our Thousand Trails Russian River preserve we made our way to a perfect RV site...or so we thought. It was wooded yet had a view of the sky for our satellite dish, grass just outside the door for the dogs. But it was on...
San Francisco, California: Buses, ferries, and street cars
More photos from San Francisco >> Well upon entering San Francisco we took 19th ave. over the Golden Gate bridge with the CruiseMaster through heavy downtown traffic, but it was well worth it to see the city. We could barely see Alcatraz out in the bay due to the...
Big Sur, California: oooohh, aaahhhhh, wow!
More photos from Big Sur >> Well the time has come to fulfill a dream, my dream to drive highway 1 from Monterey to Big Sur. And this was one dream realization that did not disappoint. It was beyond words. One must see it to understand. I fell in love, I never wanted...
Santa Cruz, California: California Dreamin’
More photos from Santa Cruz >> I gotta start this blog with stating that this is a place I would love to settle down for a while. It is the best place to live for our lifestyles. Too bad we will never be able to afford to live there :( We just had time to tour around...
San Benito County, California: Blazing the Wine Trail
More photos from San Benito>> NOTE: The hill past San Luis Obispo is a long steep climb for a motorhome towing a vehicle. Once again we found ourselves heading into the rural landscape of California to stay at a Thousand Trails at San Benito. But instead of farm land...
San Jose, California: Silicon Valley
We had only one evening in San Jose but it was a really good one, I will let Sharon write this one because it was her cousin we met up with. But I want to give a thank you to Greg and say that it was awesome getting to spend time with you and getting to know you...
Santa Barbara, California: “Just don’t look down”
More photos from Santa Barbara >> Driving up from L.A. was pretty awesome as far as scenery. The coastline on the West Coast is so different than Florida’s coastline. Huge Mountains going right to the edge, big rock islands and ocean cliffs just inspire me. The only...
Los Angeles, California: Fresh and Natural
More photos from L.A. >> The drive into L.A. hit a glitch with a blowout on the 10. If you have never been to California they refer to all their highways as “the”. For example we took the 10 to the 605 to the 105. Luckily it was a rear tire and we have two on each...
Claremont, California: City of Trees and Ph.D.s
The traffic gods looked down on us and gave the CruiseMaster smooth passage to Claremont. We stayed at a very nice KOA at the Fairplex in Pomona. We did not have much time to check it out as my Claremont Exhibition was later that day and I had stuff to get ready.& It...
