May 19-22, 2016
We started off with a mere 2 hour drive, unhooked in 10 minutes at Pismo State Park (North Beach Campground), and rushed to meet friends at Tally Vineyards before it closed. Nice start to our adventures ahead. Great Petit Syrah which went down very nicely with Rich and Kathleen’s lovely dinner.

We have a nice site with lots of Airstream friends all around us. The Vintage Trailer show is easily accessible with a short beach walk. Kevin has been very disciplined these last few days in making sure he gets his 20 mile bike rides in. He doesn’t want to be disappointed and “bonk” on Day1 of his September ride from Canada to Mexico.

It is really nice to be able to come to these Airstream functions and have so many ‘instant’ friends, plus you can’t beat the amazing Happy Hours and Potluck dinners. We have been so fortunate to meet so many great people. Except for Jeannette and Barb, the Magnificent 7 are all here and ready to go North. We are looking forward in meeting up with them in a few days.
Then there's Joey. He arrived at our trailer around 10pm asking if he could charge his phone as he and his mom were “camping” and he didn’t have any electricity. Well, Joey stayed until 11 and chatted it up with us. Joey recently graduated from high school in the Pismo area, hoping to go to CalPoly next fall, loves to surf and is currently working as a horse hauler. He wants to become a paramedic. I’m glad that we were able to meet him and help him out, even if it was just a cell phone charge. Wish him well. Joey is homeless.
Our journey will now continue through Northern California, Oregon and Washington. We will be traveling along the I-5 towards Hwy. 97 and continuing to the border crossing at Ossoyos, BC.
