Strange to be on the road for Easter Sunday.
We took a walk around the RV park this morning, because it was sunny although cold. We did one cache on the walk and one more on the road on the way out.

Harris decided to take smaller highways, instead of big interstates….and you know what that means. Yep, more twisty, climbing, steep sided roads. Why are the steep sides always on our side of the road? Why are there never any guardrails?
Like new condition after only 3 years use
The scenery at first was interesting, sort of. On one side of the road were agricultural fields, orchards and vineyards. On the other side of the road were huge industrial plants, electrical plants, and oil pumps. Then we started climbing into the Sierra Madre mountains. Twisty roads. Yep. But the hills became beautifully green with grasses and trees. We passed isolated ranches, some combined with wineries! Some of the hills became sunshiny yellow. It at first looked like the sun was just shining on some areas, but then we realized there were beautiful yellow wildflowers just covering the hills. After we went over a pass, we noticed a big change….even more green, more trees, very hilly and beautiful. We were sure out of desert country, and getting closer to the coast. The sky was getting grayer, too, although we only got a few sprinkles.
So this was what was causing all our wind!
We didn’t know exactly where we’d end up tonight, so we checked out a few RV parks around Morro Bay. The state park was gorgeous, but cost $50 for hookups. So, we found another park a little further from the beach and parked it. Since we’re only here for sleeping, it doesn’t matter if we’re on the beach. But we saw it today!
Finally some green!
