Joy and Art let us (the Domokos') borrow the Outlaw to take our family on a trip while all the Degroots were in Mexico. We went to Emma Woods in Ventura, Lopez Lake, and San Francisco.
We had a wonderful time--the most beautiful spot was Emma Woods on the beach in the morning. The sky and the rocks and the surf were so peaceful and quiet. We saw a lot of pelicans flying just above the water (how do they not touch the water with their wingtips?), a few odd seals, and cormorants diving for fish. The scariest part was the drive on highway 1 from Hearst Castle. Mike had warned me that it was a steep windy road, but I didn't realize it was that steep and windy! Jeez! It was definitely worth the view, but I don't think we'll be doing that again--at least not in a 37 foot RV.
The kids really liked Lopez Lake with its water park and trails, and we all liked the adventure of public transportation and the excitement of the big city in San Fransisco. Mike made it the entire way without so much as a scratch from a low hanging tree branch, until we took the RV home and tried to back it in the driveway. Oh, well! It just blended in with all the other scracthes that were there previously.
