July 15-July 24 road trip north to Auburn

When our South Carlsbad State beach week was over, it was time to leave SoCal for good this year.  First stop was Emma Woods State Beach where we parked on a differnt beach for a night,

then we moved to a day use parking spot north of Ventura and had a day visit with Roger and Michal

on the shore where we enjoyed the ocean and good conversation for a day

Next we drove to Santa Barbara ans inland a short distance to Los Padres National Forest and 

Rancho Oso Thousand Trails resort for five nights

of relaxation, swimming in the pool and a bit of hkling with fellow campers.

Next we drove north on 101 to Hollister where we stayed overnight one night 

at the Hollister Elks RV parking lot

and another night at the Lodi Elks RV parking

While we were in the neighborhood, we drove by our od neighborhood in Stockton to take a look at where we lived when the kids were in elementary school

Finally, on Sunday July 24 we went to Folsom Lake State Park and spend the afternoon with Jeff and Becky for some good ffod and conversation
