So, we got a late start this morning sleeping in until 9am....it was wonderful!! Our stalker relatives, Mike and Sheri, came knocking while we were having our breakfast so we got to have one last chat before we hit the road. We decided to stop at Shell Beach on our way out and I am glad we did. It is so beautiful with the huge rocks rising out of the ocean, the seagulls everywhere, sea otters, crabs and of course the colorful seaweed and kelp everywhere. There were actually some professional photographers there doing a shoot. We crawled our way along the rocks, searching for critters until it was time to leave. Leaving the absolute perfect temperature of 70 degrees of the central coast was painful as we hit 100 degrees more inland...ugh! We happened upon a diner for lunch where they had a memorial for the actor, James Dean. Apparently, this is the spot where he met his demise at the age of 24 in a head-on car collision in the 1950's. The boys seemed quite disturbed at the thought of his crash and Bode said, "He was probably texting". But we motor on and travel 180 miles to Three Rivers, CA. It is a small campground with very tight spots. But it has a refreshing river running right next to it that we checked out immediately upon our arrival. We made dinner at the RV tonight and have been working on how to tackle the mountains in the morning. We decided since the RV limit is 22 feet and ours is 31 feet, we better not drive ourselves. Plus the elevation climb alone would do a number on the RV! So, we booked a shuttle and look forward to a day of discovering the Sequoia National Forest! Until then....
