Up and keen to leave Desert Hot Springs. It was WAY too
windy. Heading along the highway there were heaps of wind turbines. Hundreds of
them, all different types. The wind was just insane! The fastest we could get
the RV going into the headwind was 45 miles per hour. Once we crossed the
mountains the wind suddenly stopped – thank goodness! The drive was uneventful,
mostly on the major highway through the LA outskirts. We reached the coast at a
place called Oceanside. We drove up the coast a bit past a Navy base where they
were doing some sort of operations alongside the highway – lots of tanks. We
ended up turning back and parking up at Oceanside RV Park, then got the scooter
off and went for a ride around. Oceanside is quite pretty, the beach was nice,
and we went to the harbour for a coffee in a little place overlooking the
fishing boats.
After that back along the beachfront, lots of people on bikes,
walking dogs and just hanging out. Perfect weather for it! After dinner we went
for a scoot down to the pier and a walk along it.
It goes quite a way out, and
there is a diner at the end called Ruby’s. Lots of people about, walking,
running and lots of fishing off the pier. A guy had caught a 2 foot long
stingray. On the beach there were firepits and groups BBQing and sitting round
with guitars. Really nice way to end the day.
