Today we left the beach behind.
We were sad to go on the one hand, on the other it's been too darned chilly. I guess we could not say cold, just chilly.
We
chugged back up the mountain outside of San Luis Obispo then off across
central California. We stopped off in one of the few small towns along
the way for lunch. We managed to sniff out a small park with a small
play ground across from a small school. (Did I mention it was a small
town??).
We were finishing up as school let out for the day, then hit the road again.
We
made it to Three Rivers without incident. The RV park would be busting
at the seams for the weekend but we rolled in before the park got
packed. Still parking the trailer was a challenge due to the small
space, but after providing the obligatory entertainment ( bets were
taken, odds were given) we did manage to get parked rather nicely.

Day 60 - May 22 Pismo Beach, Ca a trip north to San Luis Obispo
A road trip to San Luis Obispo just a bit up the road.
We were reading about the San Luis Thursday farmers market and decided to make the long arduous trip. (1/2 hour maybe).
This farmers market was much, much larger than Pismo's. The have a downtown restaurant row that runs a few blocks, so on Thursdays the block it off for a large farmers market/block party. A number of the restaurants haul out their BBQ bit and set up shop on the street.
One could find all sorts of veggies, BBQ, street entertainment, misc vendors. They drew a quite large crowd. It looks like they have built a successful Thursday night event.
Time to grab that last bowl of world famous Clam Chowder from the Splash Cafe (San Luis outlet) before heading back to the house. We managed to leave there with a supply of strawberries, broccoli, tomatoes, pistachios, clam chowder, and a flower balloon
A most enjoyable evening for our last day in Pismo:

Day 59 - May 21 Pismo Beach, Ca farmers market
Another lazy day in Pismo.
Today's highlight was a short walk into town to visit the weekly farmers market. It was a pretty small affair this time of year. Three veggie vendors, a chip and dip vendor, pickled veggie and a couple of cooked food vendors. It apparently get a bit larger during the peak tourist season.
We topped off the day with dinner at the RV park's local restaurant.

Day 58 - May 20 Pismo Beach, Ca some touring
Today we took a drive up to the north a bit, seeing what there is to see along the coast highway 1/101.
We had a nice late lunch at a local seaside diner then headed back to the ranch for a session with the fire ring and a few sticks of firewood. Turns out we left our axe in Texas... dang, but Susan picked up a hatched at the store so we were saved... yea..... Twas a nice fire but we also discovered the marshmallows are also back in Texas.....

Day 57 - May 19 Pismo Beach, Ca Burrrrrr
Seems we got here just in time for the cold front to move in.
Today we huddled in front of the fire place all wrapped up in our woollies. Ok, perhaps it was not that bad. However, it was a laundry/watch a movie sort of day.
But, we did manage to get out for a walk along the beach once the winds died down in the late afternoon. Rosalie got her feet (and a bit more) wet, we collected a few sand dollars and headed back to the house.
Earlier in the day we had a knock at the door. It was our neighbor offering us her left over firewood. No fire tonight, but soon,
