We be rollin’

Cardiff and I took our first trip, spending the night in Morro Bay as a shakedown run. Close enough that forgotten items weren’t critical, but far enough that we had to drive and deal with the trailer. It went well, but I can’t really recommend the RV park we stayed it. It was beautifully located, literally across the street from the beach, but just a different group of people looking for something different than how I would like to enjoy the trailer. My vision is something more remote, with fewer amenities and people, with more access to nature. This was basically a parking lot filled with people and vehicles of all kinds looking to get their drunk on.

We made do, and had a good trip. First visit to the beach for Cardiff. Unfortunately our film crew didn’t show up so I was the only one able to hold the leash, which meant I couldn’t really get any pictures of the frolicking. The rules in the park were very clear: I couldn’t have her off leash (no more than 6’ long) and couldn’t leave her alone at the site. So she came along everywhere, including the bathroom which had a sign on the door saying “no animals”. Hmmm, someone didn’t think that through. We both went in, and no fights ensued.

You can see where I stopped to pick up lunch on the way in (good burrito!), a tired puppy trying to nap after running in the sand and surf, going out to the harbor and seeing boats and birds, and driftwood structures on the misty beach early in the morning of our second day.
