We spend the morning in McDonald’s parking lot using their WiFi. I am not great with a mouseless laptop and I begin to wonder if this blogging thing is really worth all the frustration. Plus, it is an old and VERY slow PC. Hmmm, how come Fred gets to use the new Apple laptop?
All that frustration over, the brain finally starts remembering all the steps to blogging and we get into the groove. Fred will now download the photos while I draft a copy of the blog in Word. Then we put it all into the blog….voila, done!
That completed, we head to Tacos de Mexico for a mouthwatering chili verde burrito. Out of this world. Julie, you were absolutely right.
Then back to the campground to lollygag around the RV for the afternoon. I take a nap and Fred snoozes out in the patio. Feels so good to be on cruise control.
The evening approaches and I introduce Fred to the “Elfin Forest” in Los Osos. It is this charming bit of land overlooking the Morro Bay Estuary with a sun bleached boardwalk that gently curves through native plants and shrubs. The day is still overcast and the tide has gone out leaving the estuary looking forlorn and mysterious. The tide swirls and meanders out to sea as the sea birds settle in for the evening.

We take lots of photos and hope to somehow capture the character of the “Elfin Forest” with its strange looking bushes and scrub oaks. Every once in a while we feel the presence of something under the boardwalk….perhaps a troll?
We return to the campground to prepare dinner. Note to Mike Marshall: Fred continues to roll through the stop sign at the ranger’s station and I warn him that next time they just might shoot his tires out.
Evening is approaching as Fred lights the lanterns and prepares the charcoal for dinner. He grills steak while I fix guacamole and chips. Dinner is yum. We notice we are gradually falling into the rhythm of this “camping” adventure.
Tomorrow we head for Big Sur. Rumor has it there is no internet access in that part of the country. Should that be true, we will be in touch next weekend. Until then, or until we find WiFi somewhere…..adios, farewell, ciao…
