Crunch Day

Looking out over Simi Valley from the Regan Library - Air Force One and a Presidential Chopper in the corners

Ouch!!!!!!!!



They say that a bad day on vacation is better than a good day at the office. I had some great days at the office!!! I think a bad day is just a ……….BAD DAY. We saw a lot in LA, which was good because we were staying in one of the worst RV Parks we have seen on the entire trip. We only slept there. And to top off our stay, as we left, I misjudged a corner and scrunched one of the “basement doors” of the motor-home on a VERY immovable bollard alongside the roadway. That’ll cost!!

We have been in and out of some very tight spots on this trip and I guess I got too cocky for my own good as it relates to my ability to maneuver the RV in tight spaces. Reminiscent of another vacation a few years ago. (eh R&B)

On our way to Buellton (Santa Barbara) we stopped at the Ronald Regan Presidential Library in Simi Valley. After climbing a winding mountain road to the library and maneuvering around corners not meant for an RV, then parking in the back of a parking lot not meant for RV’s (remember I just crunched the side a few hours ago), we were told by a guard…………..no RV’s (A sign at the bottom of the hill would have been nice!!!). Simi Valley is beautiful and, the site for the Regan Library is breathtaking (there’s that word again), on a hilltop, overlooking miles of surrounding countryside.

We are now in the middle of the Santa Barbara wine country and, are looking forward to visits from Waterloo friends and Jonathan and Meghann. So…..we’ll be here for a while. Beats LA!!
