Ahhhh. The cool breezes of the Pacific Ocean are a welcome change from the 104° temps we had just yesterday in Indio, CA. We're here in the area visiting my Dad & sister for about 10 days and then we start our trip north via Hwy 101. We're so GLAD to get out of the heat!
I did make a serious driving error on my way here from Indio yesterday: I followed my GPS directions and drove Hwy 74 from Lake Elsinore to the coast. Huge mistake. Narrow road, nice twisties with no guard rails. had to peel my hands off the steering wheel when I finally got over the dam# mountain! Here's a view from a turnout:http://www.efgh.com/trans/c74a.jpg Whew. Here's another picture: http://www.efgh.com/trans/c74f.jpg. Here's a great picture of what we drove over: http://www.pashnit.com/maps/Highway74map.htm ( scroll down to the middle picture!)
This is the first state park we've stayed in because it's so hard to find a state park that can hold a 40' RV , have 50 amps AND water and sewer. This place has it all. It even had a pull-through for us! It's very nice.
