Are pictures worth a thousand words???

Well we are back online tonight, and camped out at Marina, Ca., which is just below San Francisco.  We are right on the Ocean, in a beautiful RV Resort with full service, and will stay here for the next three days.  Today, we drove from Morro Bay, up to here, and it was one of the nicest drives we have ever taken!  Pictures will say it all!  You drive right along the coast on Pacific Coast Highway #1, and climb up and down the cliffs!  Our Dura Max was put to the test today, and passed with flying colours!  Love that diesel!

  4. We have this drive and it is indeed breath-taking. Your picture with the seagull is absolutely stunning - GREAT shot. I think the seals are trying to keep their skin moist and maybe keep insects off too. That's a great stop. Your camp site sure looks nice. And yes, Hwy 101 along the Oregon coast is breathtaking as well. Are you sticking to the coast all the way up?

  5. We share your 'like' for this area. It is beautiful. You could stay for a month and still not get to see all that the area has to offer.

    You are having a fun time discovering it though!

  6. Fantastic photos and great memories for us too. We stayed at the Marina Dunes RV Park a few years ago and loved it - especially the walk over the dunes and down to the beach.

    Looks like your visiting the same sites and places we did - it's a spectacular area.

    Say, John, are you going to pop into Pebble Beach and play a round of golf?
