Downtown Pismo Beach, Ca, on Monday. I could hangout here forever.

This summer has started a bit on the very hot side here in the west. Anyhow went for a short hike in what I call my backyard, the Baylands (San Francisco Bay) at Shoreline by Mountain View Ca., out the door of the RV. Below on the left hiking on a Levy. After 5.5 miles ran into the creature on the right. A fox I think, small for a coyote. I was surprised how closed it let me get. Then I noticed there were two, and maybe they had pups nearby, though kind of late in the season. Notice how brown everything is, ... drought and heat.

Time for a road trip, left the Bay Area, went to Pismo Beach. Nice there, I could hangout there forever, but would have to make new friends, and I like the ones I have, irreplaceable, we are a fun loving family, hiking, biking and socializing.  ... But Pismo Beach is very nice !!!!

They make great Bloody Mary’s there.

From the RV Campground, about 4 miles from downtown Pismo Beach, have to hike about 1.25 miles over a dunes to get to the beach. Have always liked hiking this dunes. Life on dunes is very sparse, low, small and far apart due to daily sand drift, except on the edges of the dunes. On the edges there is quiet an eco system. But on the other side of the dunes, there is the beach, and that is another eco system, of the human kind. RV’s and tents, for 1.5 mi in either direction.

Have always been chicken about taking the RV on the beach like they do. Sand and salt I think is a bad combo for the RV, especially since it is my home and has to last a long time.

Left Pismo Beach, and went to the high dessert, east of Los Angeles, over the San Gabriel mountains, by Lancaster and Palmdale Ca. This morning was planning a short dessert hike, around 10 am opened the RV door, and the heat ..... I checked the temp and it was only 92 deg and going to 102 deg. Ok, no dessert hike for this boy, went to the pool, ... much better.

Of course when at the Pacific Ocean one must at least dip your feet, yep, it is cold, cold !!!

Pool in the day time, and pool at night, ... not a bad day. Tomorrow heading to San Diego area, be there house ( in San Marcos ) sitting for bro John for about 3 weeks. And yes, more fun times to be had there. San Diego area is another one of those places I could hangout forever.

Later Kids,
