I headed out before breakfast to find the Pacific Ocean, El Capitan State Beach, to be specific. More of a hike than I expected but it's always a reward to arrive at the sea.
In fact, it was an excellent hike. There was a nice fog and it seemed to want to rain but couldn't quite make it.
I ran out of bananas and a few other items are running low, so I was forced to make a supplies run into the nearest town, Goleta, 13 miles to the south.
It's Saturday night, and there's a live Rock 'n Roll band playing in the canyon just over the ridge. It occurs to me that if those sounds were coming from another camper nearby, it would be a nuisance, but since it is so far away, and a live band, it is not only acceptable, but fun!
The park's Wi-Fi is FUBAR so I use the iPhone to connect for email and check out the route to Big Sur, using Google Maps satellite/hybrid views to see what's ahead.
The RV park is big and sterile, with paved parking pads and all the conveniences, but lacks the one thing I want: the beach.
Tomorrow: Big Sur!
