I ...I have been reading your blogs for a while now. I am amazed at the miles you put on. I have driven through LA once in my 35' bus, and I vowed never to do that again. Don't you find it stressful to be on the road so often?<BR/><BR/>By the way, I am converting my bus into an RV too, and got some really good design tips from your videos. I never thought I would be able to travel with my cat until I saw your ingenious catbox compartment above your tirewell. I am definitely implementing that feature :)ShinyWhiteBushttp://parkfreeovernight.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6208406.post-88465599836650712322009-04-12T10:50:00.000-04:002009-04-12T10:50:00.000-04:00Sean & Louise, I used to go to Oceano Dunes ye...Sean & Louise, I used to go to Oceano Dunes years ago when it was Pismo Dunes. I took my motorhome with trailer on the beach all the time, BUT back then it was a 34 foot gas rig and a small trailer, trying to go on the beach with your rig is gauranteed to get you stuck and the pull out fee is astronomical, don't try it. By the way, a lot of the time you have to cross a creek on the beach too. Not fun nor good for the rig, LOL.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03158513162738480323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6208406.post-50619457067316897042009-04-12T02:28:00.000-04:002009-04-12T02:28:00.000-04:00Wow, you guys sure do get around.

Sand's not our thing, but nothing against anyone for whom it is. Also, we've stayed in OHV parks before.<BR/><BR/>What I was really trying to illuminate is that, as you've pointed out, it is spring break, and the park is full to capacity. That's <I>definitely</I> not our thing, as long-time readers know. Even as large as Oceano Dunes is, 1,000 rigs is a LOT of RVs on that beach.<BR/><BR/>Louise has been listening to the calls on her scanner (SLO sheriff, county fire, and EMS) since we got here (she is a scanner junkie, big time), and it's been non-stop out there on the beach (including the heart attack that came in via On-Star, which only provided GPS coordinates, and none of the SLO vehicles carries a GPS).<BR/><BR/>So, it's not the activity, but those sorts of crowds that led to the comment. I confess that the use of the term "romantic" was misleading; I was trying to inject some humor.<BR/><BR/>@Anonymous: We'll bee looking for them.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17930398671280529448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6208406.post-1982264366582209352009-04-11T22:43:00.000-04:002009-04-11T22:43:00.000-04:00Hope you take time to stop and see the Monarch But...Hope you take time to stop and see the Monarch Butterflies. They are only 3 or 4 miles north of you on Hwy 1. Follow Hwy 1 north past Grand Ave. In about 1/2 to 1 mile you will see a field on the left and a stand of Eucaluptas trees. You can park on the side of the road. This spot has been written up in several magazines and newspapers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6208406.post-88871061949188053752009-04-11T19:28:00.000-04:002009-04-11T19:28:00.000-04:00RE: "Speaking of Full"It's Spring Break.

Actually, quite a few people have gotten married there. Wouldn't be my choice for a wedding, but camping with friends on the beach and riding around the dunes happens to be the preferred trip for two million visitors a year. Three times more than Hearst Castle. In fact, Oceano Dunes is the #1 most popular state park in Calfornia. Not your thing? Cool.<BR/><BR/>Enjoy the rest of your trip.SLORiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13057997508962702091noreply@blogger.com
