Awake 6:28am Temp 52 Partly cloudy-then clear Overnite @ Lakeside, CA
No need to leave early this morning...our next campground is only 25 miles
West & mostly Interstate. The cars that would normally be blocking our
leaving this tight & narrow site have been moved..so our turning area
should be OK.
We leave the Rancho Los Coches RV park @ 10:48am. Pulling out of our
parking spot was still marginal. Kathy stopped my forward movement twice
with hand signals to have me adjust my radius of turn. The top right rear
of our coach did brush a large tree limb unbeknown to us at the time which
left a little sap smear. We won't plan on any future visits to this
campground. Yesterday when talking to to the campground hosts, we
complimented them on such a clean & lovely park, nice tenants, quiet, etc.
But we cautioned them on giving notice to other 45 ft motorhomes on
limited maneuvering space.
As expected, a lot of traffic on I-8 & I-5 to San Diego. Arrive @ the
Campland on the Bay @ 11:37am. We are stopped @ the main entry gate to
register & get an assigned parking site.
Today's travel: 49 min 25.5 miles 3.0 gal 9.15 mpg 39.2 avg speed.
It's a nice park with over 600 camping sites.
One of the 1st things I do after parking is to get out the telescoping
ladder & clean off that sap from the tree limb. Kathy discovered that
brush mark as we were hitching up our Suzuki car before travel.
We call the Footes @ their Sheraton Hotel & leave a message.
6:35pm Dinner:Crab cakes from Costco, brown & wild rice pilaf, asparagus
with garlic cheese + fresh salad.
Kevin calls using a pay phone. They were @ the San Diego Zoo, missed the
last scheduled bus & had to take a taxi back to their hotel. A late night
for Matthew but he did good, says Kevin.
We watch a movie on cable: "The Palm Beach Story." Not that good. Feeling
a little cheated on entertainment, we watch another: "Mr. Deeds goes to
Washington." This movie was great! Well worth our time.
Today's high temp=80 Lights out: 12:29am
