Awake: 4:30am Temp 53 sleep 6+01 nighttime drizzle overnight @ Buellton, CA.
I couldn't sleep any longer so I got up in the dark, used a flashlight & did some reading...until sun rise. Then used another 1.1 hrs of generator time to warm up our shrunken house, eat breakfast & program our GPS's for the next adventure.
We leave the grassy field of Flying Flags RV Park & Campground (which was a little wetter but still solid earth) @ 8:22am, following State hwy-101 southbound.
Once again, our windshield wipers are busy clearing either drizzle or heavy rain as we roll along so we can have a better view ahead. We wanted to see more of the cities along hwy-101 but for the lack of reasonable priced & appropriate sized campgrounds, it wasn't easy to do. So we passed up: Santa Barbara, Ventura & Oxnard, etc to name a few. The closer we came to Los Angeles, the more cars entered the 3-4-5 lane hwy. At times, with the mist from the car/truck tires & the steady falling rain, the road surface was sometimes blanketed out.
We arrived @ our destination in Anaheim @ 11:10am.
Today's travel: 166 miles 3+27 time 28 gal used 5.9 mpg 48 mph avg speed.
This campground, the Anaheim Resort RV Park, is the 2nd most expensive place since we started RVing in 2002. We parked the bus & kept our slides retracted, had lunch & started planning for tomorrow's next adventure.
Lunch was: a blue cheese bacon burger with a mixed salad. It was so good & a bigger meal than I wanted to finish so we both decided to save the rest for another day.
Next, carrying our umbrellas, we attend the 5:00pm vigil Mass @ the Saint Boniface Catholic Church, about (2.2) miles from our campground. The church was very large & nearly every pew was filled.
Evening movie: "Sideways" with Paul Giamatti, Thomas Haden Church, Virginia Madsen, Sandra Oh, Mary-Louise Burke, Jessica Hecht. Giamatti gives another great---and thoroughly natural, totally believable---performance as a would-be author, passionate xenophile, and social misfit who takes a college pal off for a week in California wine country before he gets married. Along the way, this odd couple meets two attractive women who seem to return their interest. Told with wit, truth, compassion, and the eye for detail that marks all of Payne's work. 2004. This story & movie was great; don't miss it!
Lights out: 1:23am.
