Arrived at Westwind RV and Golf Resorthttps://www.westwindrvgolfresort.com/ Friday afternoon and feasted on fish and chips at their weekly fish fry. They fly fresh cod in from Alaska every Thursday... truly delicious. Saturday we watched the St Patrick's day golf cart parade while dining on homemade corned beef and cabbage.
We connected with friends while on the pickleball courts; Heather & Andre from Cat Spa and Candy & Ron who we met last spring during our stay at Rancho California.
We had the motorhome and car washed and waxed by Sergio's, as always they did an excellent job for the ultra reasonable price of $140! Tuesday afternoon we saw paratroopers as we drove through the Yuma Proving Grounds https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuma_Proving_Gr… on route to Martinez Lake for lunch and bloody marys.
Wednesday morning was spent in Los Algodones, Mexico where I got a haircut, we dined on street tacos and purchased tequila and kahlua. While in Yuma we also shopped at the Arizona Market Place https://azmktholdings.com/ ate at our favorite taco stand, El Costitas and bought a 20+ lb bag of oranges, grapefruit and lemons.
On to Hemet, CA for a week stay at Golden Village Palms RV Resort.Lue lisää

Beautiful spring flowers as we made our way to Hemet driving through the Imperial and Coachella Valleys. We really enjoyed our week stay at Golden Village Palms RV Resort... well kept, spacious sites, lots of activities, friendly people and 10 pickleball courts!
https://www.goldenvillagepalms.com
Our friends from last April's stay at Rancho California in Aguanga, Sandi & Bob, were there. They are truly good friends and we had a great time hosting happy hour for each other and playing pickleball.
While in Hemet we also visited their museum and took a short hike to the Hemet Maze Stone. https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/hemet-maze-…
Tomorrow we depart for a six night stay at Pismo Coast Village in Pismo Beach.Lue lisää

After battling through L.A. traffic we had a lovely drive up hwy 101 to Pismo Coast Village RV Resort in Pismo Beach, CA. A nice, busy resort located right on the beach. We're used to seeing snowbirds so it's weird to be in a park that's filled with Californians.
Today we drove up the coast to Morro Bay. We checked out the Maritime Museum then watched the mama sea otters grooming their pups... sooo cute.
https://www.morrobaymaritime.org/
Our next stop was the San Luis Obispo History Center Museum housed in a former Carnegie library building. https://historycenterslo.org/museum/
Then we visited the Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa's museum and sanctuary.
Very beautiful. http://missionsanluisobispo.org/
Our best stop of the day was Dallidet Adobe Gardens and Museum. We happened to visit the day of their annual Spring Fling so we not only enjoyed the gardens and museum but also live music, paella and sangria! https://historycenterslo.org/dallidet-adobe/Lue lisää

Lots to see and do here on California's central coast. Yesterday we rode our bikes to Pismo State Beach and the Butterfly Grove, though the monarch butterflies were no longer clustering on the eucalyptus trees. http://www.monarchbutterfly.org/
We then biked to downtown Pismo for a stroll. Kuma and I also enjoyed an afternoon beach walk.
Today we played three hours of pickleball at Del Mar Park in Morro Bay. Excellent play, beautiful courts and friendly, welcoming people. We traveled a bit farther north to Cambria and toured Nit Wit Ridge, the Anti Hearst castle. Fun, quirky and interesting. https://nit-wit-ridge.business.site/
Next we stopped at San Luis Obispo Botanical Gardens for a short hike. https://www.slobg.org/
We ended our day with dinner at Splash Cafe in downtown Pismo. We knew it had to be good as people were waiting in a line over a block long on Saturday. We weren't disappointed. Delicious fish and chips, calamari and clam chowder not to mention cute clam murals on the walls. https://www.splashcafe.com/Lue lisää

Tuesday we hit the San Luis Obispo Coastal Wine Trail with tastings at Saucelito Canyon and Claiborne & Churchill wineries. We were entertained by Saucelito's official greeter, Gladys the pug, and enjoyed Clairborne's friendly, homey tasting room.http://www.slowine.com/taste/ We ended our day with an outstanding burger at the Cool Cat Cafe in Pismo.
We started Wednesday with pickleball at Meadow Park in SLO, aka San Luis Obispo, then made our contribution to Bubblegum Alley https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/bubblegum-a… before driving to the Madonna Inn, the epitome of kitsch, for some black forest cake. https://www.madonnainn.com/ Next stop Arroyo Grande for a wine tasting at Qupe' & Verdad and lunch at Klondike Pizza.
Thursday we head north on hwy 101 for a week stay at Yanks RV Resort in Greenfield, California, about an hour east of Monterey.Lue lisää

Thursday we traveled 90 miles north into the Salinas Valley to Yanks RV Resort in Greenfield, California. A very nice park nestled among vineyards and row crops.
http://www.yanksrvresort.com/
Friday we tasted wine at Scheid Vineyards then had an early dinner at Tacos La Potranca in King City...delicious! 🌮🌯
Saturday morning was spent at the National Steinbeck Center in Salinas. Very informative and gave us a better appreciation of the region and of the author. http://www.steinbeck.org/ Afterwards we strolled old town Salinas, including the farmer's market, then had a bite to eat at the Steinbeck House Restaurant where John Steinbeck was born and raised. http://steinbeckhouse.com/
The afternoon was spent at Pinnacles National Park where we went to the visitors center then drove to Chaparral and took a short hike. Beautiful vistas, huge boulders and wildflowers galore. https://www.nps.gov/pinn/index.htm
We ended our day with a leisurely tasting at
Chalone Vineyards. Yummy wines and pretty views.Lue lisää

Sunday we took a scenic drive on Carmel Valley Road to Carmel-By-The-Sea where we checked out some of the many shops before sampling some wine at Hahn Tasting Room. We also toured the Carmel Mission Basilica and Museum...very beautiful and informative. https://carmelmission.org/
Sunday night I had an acute flare-up of rotator cuff tendinitis, suffered through it Monday before consulting a doctor in Salinas on Tuesday. Feeling better now that the pain is under control but still have very limited motion. Thanks Randy for taking such good care of me. It sure threw a monkey wrench into our plans to bike Monterey. 🙁 Had to content ourselves with a driving tour.
Next stop, Flag City RV Resort in Lodi for a week stay.Lue lisää

Thursday we arrived at Flag City RV Resort in Lodi, California. Angie and Jim stopped for the night during their northerly migration so we had the pleasure of having dinner and breakfast with them.
Saturday we shopped the Asian Farmers Market in Stockton. It was fantastic with tons of produce as well as a fish market.
https://www.visitstockton.org/directory/downtow… Next stop was the Ghirardelli Outlet in Lathrop for some shopping and a brownie & hot fudge sundae for breakfast.
We ended our day back in Stockton at the Haggin Museum, a definite must see if you're ever in the area. A well curated fine art and history museum under one roof.
http://hagginmuseum.org/
Sunday morning we headed to the Sacramento Farmers Market then strolled Old Sacramento, including the visitors center and a one room school. Historic, great architecture and touristy. http://oldsacramento.com/ Sunday afternoon was spent touring the California State Capitol Museum, another must see.

Monday was cool with rain in the forecast so I spent the morning grocery shopping. Later that afternoon we went to Michael David Winery for a tasting.
Tuesday we had planned on biking the American River Parkway starting at Discovery Park in Sacramento but it was closed due to flooding, also there were many homeless camps along the urban portion, so we drove 20 miles east and had a beautiful two hour ride along Lake Natoma. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Natoma We stopped at Oto's Marketplace in Sacramento, a Japanese grocery, on our way back to Lodi. Tuesday evening Chad & Leslie joined us for a glass, or two, of wine during their layover on their way home to Oregon.
Wednesday we had breakfast in Stockton then visited the Wat Dhammararam Buddhist Temple. Very interesting and colorful.https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/wat-dhammar… Back in Lodi we went to Oakridge Winery where we had some of the best wines of our trip, especially their old vine zins which this region is known for.
We ended our day with a walking tour of downtown Lodi.

Thursday was spent catching up on domestic chores then we rewarded ourselves with a delicious italian meal at Pietro's Trattoria.
Friday we'll spend the night in Yreka then on to Junction City, Oregon to have a new living room TV installed as ours gave up the ghost two months ago.Lue lisää

We arrived at Junction City, Oregon Easter weekend for installation of a new TV and custom cabinets to house it. Shaun and Matthias Davis of Davis Cabinets will be doing the design, build and installation. Monday and Tuesday we discussed design and components with Shaun then shopped for the new TV, receiver, subwoofer, and speakers. The rest of the week was tear down, build and installation. Randy had fun helping to set up our new audiovisual system and fine tuning it to our taste. The folks at Davis Cabinets are excellent craftsmen and did a fine job. We highly recommend them. http://mobile.dudasite.com/site/daviscabinets?u…
Monday we head to Nehalem Bay State Park for about a week.Lue lisää
