We were off again this morning... next stop: Pismo Beach. It's our favorite California beach which we discovered back in our Eurovan Camper days. And I always look forward to the trip when it takes us to Pismo.
The road is familiar. We left the Sierra Nevada foothills, traveling west on route 198, connected to route 41 then 46 to Paso Robles, and continued south on route 101 to our turn-off to Pismo Beach.
The road took us past orange and lemon groves, past fields, across desert terrain and into the hilly landscape of the Diablo Range.
.
Eventually we caught our first glimpse of the Pacific Ocean.

By mid-day we were parked in our site, set up, had lunch and a cuppa', and headed to the beach. It was still there, just as we remember it;)

Later we went for a walk again to see the sun setting.

And once again we were gifted with the Super Moon rising.

We plan to stay here through the end of the month before we head further south towards Los Angeles to catch our flight to Bangkok on December 5th to meet our grandson. He is "scheduled" to arrive mid-November.
I look forward to daily walks on the beach, and Michael will run on alternate days. We have a few other loose ends to take care of while here. Living in Alpine still means there are home finance and other related chores to take care of. And I plan to complete the baby quilt pattern I bought at Family Threads, the quilt shop in San Juan Bautista.
