So far in San Diego...

It has been a very busy couple of weeks in San Deigo, with the Zoo, Wild Animal Park, visiting all the beaches, riding the endless bike trails, plus Chargers stadium for Fan Fest (free parking, free admission, autographs from the players!). We've also had some unexpected expenses due to problems with the generator installation (propane leak due to a wrong fitting along with an electrical fire due to the wrong size wire nut and loose wires in the transfer box); we are hoping the installer will do the honorable thing and reimburse us - particularly considering how lucky they are that it did not burn down our new RV - with us in it!!!

We have visited La Jolla Cove area several times. I absolutely LOVE La Jolla beach, it is beautiful. The water temp has been hovering around 72 here - which is very warm. We are awaiting good visibility to go snorkeling in the reserve.

The squirrels are everywhere and have no fear - this one let me get a nice close-up. The "Children's pool" here behind Gary always seems to have Harbor seals hanging around. A couple blocks north at the cove there are lots of Sea Lions. Can't wait to get in the water to see the garibaldi, kelp beds and leopard sharks.

Wanderers and Vagabonds...

The RV started as a temporary solution to afford living in Newport Beach when Mary's company relocated to Irvine, CA. We loved it so much, we decided to make a go of full-time RVing. In July 2008 we hit the road, and have been roaming ever since. We do seasonal work camping and really enjoy it. We also use camp club memberships such as Thousand Trails and Coast to Coast to save on "rent". We have found beauty everywhere we go and hope to continue exploring and enjoying this beautiful country. Here's a great quote which sums up our hope for ourselves and for anyone seeking similar adventures:

“...May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds. May your rivers flow without end, meandering through pastoral valleys tinkling with bells, past temples and castles and poets towers into a dark primeval forest where tigers belch and monkeys howl, through miasmal and mysterious swamps and down into a desert of red rock, blue mesas, domes and pinnacles and grottos of endless stone, and down again into a deep vast ancient unknown chasm where bars of sunlight blaze on profiled cliffs, where deer walk across the white sand beaches, where storms come and go as lightning clangs upon the high crags, where something strange and more beautiful and more full of wonder than your deepest dreams waits for you -- beyond that next turning of the canyon walls.” - Edward Abbey
