| Page 13 We pulled into the Kiosk and there sat Melinda. She didn’t even recognize Danny. When she finally realized who were she said she’d be down to visit us later. It is fun to see old friend. Before we went to our site #194 we had to dump since there was no dump station in Refugio. We pulled into our site. Gosh, Danny can back this rig in so good. Only took him twice. He could have done it in one try but the people next to us had their grill and the awning out and it made it very close to get in the site. Once they moved those Danny back this rig in like he was driving forward. It just amazes me sometimes. I can’t back anything for s#$%^. Page 16 As soon as we got the rig parked we had to go to Rite-Aid and get our prescriptions filled. That didn’t take long – we will go back tomorrow and pick them up. We were starved so off to Micky D’s we went. Scarfed those burgers down. Each time we go in to this Mickey D’s I remember the first Christmas Eve away from my kids and grandkids. We were here in Carpinteria and we had Christmas Eve dinner at Mickey D’s. Nothing compared to what I was use to with the kids. After lunch we came back to our rig and decided that before we do anything we had to go say hi to Art and Jeanine. How great it was to see them. They are the best. Love visiting with them. They were anxious to see our new rig. After a short visit we came back to the rig and set up. Danny did a few of the things outside that needed to be done and I put stuff away. We are both getting better at setting up. As soon as we got here and unhooked the car Danny said, “I don’t know if I should tell you this or not”, and he held up the connection that he had just fixed in Buellton. The part that was going to cost us $200.00. Well, it had dragged again. The part he fixed had to be fixed again. Learn from our mistakes. That will be tied up around the hitch from now on. Art came over to see the rig. Nice talking to him. Loved being camp hosts with them. We had dinner, chicken, sweet potatoes and corn. Easy to make and tasty. After dinner we went for a walk around the campground. We walked over to Santa Rosa and saw all the decorative lights. It never ceases to amaze me how much decorations and lights people put up for just a couple of nights. Then we walked back to the rig. We bought a new coffee pot and I am trying to figure it out. It is suppose to grind beans and make coffee. Can’t quit get it working. It keeps beeping – which means it isn’t connected right. Take a break from it and rethink it. I got it fixed now so we will have freshly ground coffee in the morning. We are so close to the water and we can hear the waves crashing on shore. This was a wonderful place to camp host. Art and Jeanine said they were going to the desert about the same time that we will be there. Gosh it will be fun to see all of friends at Quartzsite. Looking forward to that time. Kris Moore, another of the camp hosts here stopped by and said she would be at Quartzsite too. Well it is getting late and I need to get some sleep. Didn’t sleep too good last night. All in all, the trip here was great. I liked being able to ride “shotgun” in the motor home instead of driving a car behind the motor home. We have actually gotten to travel together. Love this lifestyle and think it is getting better each day. Goodnight. Lynda click on this link to see our page http://www.camphostcouple.com |
| Our Adventure We arrived here at Carpinteria safe and sound about 1:00pm. The trip was great. The motor home drove wonderful. It was a sweet trip. When we took the exit to Carpinteria Ave. it felt like we had arrived home. The view of the ocean was incredible. |
