My 10 days working for Ranchero Visitadores is over.


We had a good 10 days with only a few mishaps among all the riders but none at our gate. We did get a little rain one day but it only lasted about 20 minutes. The road did get a little sloppy but only one brave soul drove out during that time so the road dried quickly after the rain quit.


Rain was predicted on Friday as we were packing up to leave so we had taken down as much as we could Thursday evening. By Friday morning we had little to do. After son Craig arrived with Clyda and a trailer, we loaded all the things I didn’t need for 5 more days of camping into the trailer and sent it home with Craig. There was a loud clap of thunder and we all said “lets get out of here” before the road got sloppy. Just as we hit the blacktop the rain came down including some small hail. It rained all the way to Santa Maria but not hard. Just a passing shower.

We drove to Morro Bay and camped at Morro Strand RV Park for the next 5 days. We had sunny days which is a rarity for Morro Bay so we did enjoy that. We camped with Jim who worked Rancheros with me and another couple we had met last year at Lake Lopez. Jerry and Terry had boarded the Celebrity Summit last fall for a 2 week trip the day we left the Summit after our 2 weeks on board. It was nice to compare notes about our experiences.

Here are a few photos from Visitadores and Morro Bay.

 Elephant Seals on the beach North of San Simeon.
It is a very popular tourist attraction.
 These seals cover a beach over a mile long.

It looks like mosaic rocks from a distance instead of seals.
