When we woke up this morning, we had no power so Ross went in the back to check the battery. It had hardly any voltage left. Ross started the engine as we realized that we (i.e. Claudette) had forgotten to switch the fridge to gas last night. Consequently, the refrigerator had drained all the power from the battery. Luckily, we were able to recharge it as soon as we got back on the road.Those things happen...but they shouldn't.....
We had some friendly stellar jays come and visit us before we left our campsite.
Really windy back on Highway 1 as we drive north. Large waves down below with beautiful vistas at every turn. Gorgeous red leaf ground cover with pink, white, yellow blossoms. Our road takes us very close to the mountain with the cliffs below, winding back and forth.
We leave the coast to enter Carmel-by-the-Sea, A very quaint town with very pretty shops. We found a beach at the end of the road. Very beautiful (photo). Quite a few people milling about. We drive on and find Pebble Beach where we pay an entrance fee of $9.50 to take a 17-mile drive following the coast (photo) and driving by many million dollar homes, some of them castles all beautifully landscaped. We drive by the famous Pebble Beach Golf Course, and stop at different viewpoints, one was called Bird Rock (photo).
Leaving Pebble Beach, we enter the town of Monterey (photo) and again drive along the coastal route which is quite beautiful.
As we get back onto Highway 1, we arrive in Marina and Ross took an exit where there was mention of an RV Park. This is a great one as we have access to this incredible beach beyond the sand dunes. We spent a couple of hours just walking and watching the waves breaking on the shore. We returned tonight for sunset photos but it got really cold as the sun dipped into the horizon so we got back to our campsite for hot showers.
It is way passed by bedtime ... 11h27...but my blog is up to date!! Good night.
