This week's trip was a visit to Mission San Buenaventura in Ventura, CA. As Wayne explained to us, these missions are an important part of California history - so go see them.
What I found interesting is that these are still active churches. We tried to be careful as we walked around to ensure we didn't disturb anyone there.
We also took the opportunity to walkaround old Ventura, walk down to the beach, and visit the Ventura County Museum. We found an olive oil shop that we'll probably return to and get some oil. The shop was fascinating in that you got to taste any oil or seasoning before purchase. You're also allowed to bring your own bottle(s) for oil (and bottles were available for purchase). As the owner explained to me, there's no reason for you to walk out with the wrong seasoning or oil. We even found a convenient place to park the truck, too! (Note: The California State Auto is the Toyota Prius...and most parking places are designed for that size auto. So I take two to four spaces when we park the truck.)
Anyway, we've stayed at the CBC Port Hueneme RV Park the maximum 30 days. So tomorrow is a mandatory move for at least a week (must stay away seven days before returning.) We're moving to just north of Santa Barbara for two weeks and return mid-February for four weeks before moving to Pismo Beach mid-March.
We plan to head inland once we leave Pismo Beach. Spring break starts right about that time, so we'll get off the coast for a week or so and take care of some maintenance stuff (tires). We return to the Santa Cruz/Monterey area for Easter where, hopefully, Terry & Forest can come out for a weekend or so. After that, it's back inland passing east of San Francisco before gong back to the coast and head north. At least that's the plan...until it changes.
Later, David
