Into the Los Angeles Metro area

While still in San Diego on Monday, we visited Balboa Park which was the site of a world's fair in the early 1900's.  This is a huge park with many museums, flower gardens, and the San Diego Zoo.  It was another beautiful day for sightseeing.

After our visit to the park, we did laundry, cleaning, and repairing of one of our window blinds.  We’ve done this repair a few times previously and it is not easy to do!  Living in the motorhome still requires maintenance as we’ve experienced recently.  We replaced the water pump in Mesa, found that it wasn’t working right so had to replace that again on our way to LA.  We had to add some additional venting on the roof to eliminate some foul smells from the gray water tanks while traveling.  Seems like we’ve got all the maintenance items taken care of – we’re keeping our fingers crossed!

Tuesday’s forecast was for high winds later in the day, so we got an early start and left the San Diego area by 9:15.  We made a quick stop at the Camping World in San Marcos for the water pump replacement but still finished driving about 1 p.m. before the winds picked up.  

We are nearly alone (only 3 other units at 75 available campsites) at a San Bernadino County regional park, and less than 20 miles from the church we will be working at beginning next week.  We will be moving there on Saturday so we have 4 days available for geocaching, sightseeing, and just being lazy.  Today is a beautiful, sunny day and we have a nice view of a small lake here.  Only in the mid 60’s but it’s going to be in the high 70’s during the next few days.
