Today we packed up and left the campground to head to a
campground north of Los Angeles. The temperature reached the mid 90s before we
got to Los Angeles. Chris and I did stop at a Camping World and they gave us
the checklist they use but could not see us today. :-( We did get the closest
we probably will get to a wild land fire. We went south on I-5 and part of the
road was closed earlier in the day for the fire. There were fire trucks and
firefighters as well as helicopters fighting the fire. It had been burning for
a week or two and it was mostly under control by the time we saw it. There are
pictures below.
When we got close to our campground in Santa Paula, the
temp. really dropped. It went from the mid 90s to mid 70s. This was orange
country. Now, they still had to water all the crops we saw, but there were
miles and miles of orange trees, pistachio trees, tomatoes, nectarines, cabbage
and other fruits/vegetables. The weather was beautiful here! The campground was
very nice and every camper site had a stamped concrete pad with a nice picnic table set on it to seat 6-8
people. We could burn here, they watered their grass. I helped Chris with the
camper and we got ready for the beach! Ventura beaches were the closest, only
15 minutes from our site. We went to Harbor Cove and the water was freezing! We
got in up to our knees and turned around to go sit on the beach and watch the
boats leaving the harbor. Since we may only beach here once, we decided to eat
along the bay. We went to this little local seafood restaurant called Andria’s.
You order your food when you walk in, get a number and wait for your number to
be called at your seat. We sat outside on the bay. Chris ordered charbroiled
thresher shark and I ordered charbroiled salmon steak. Both were delicious and
the clam chowder(they’re famous for it) was great!
We drove back to the campground, started a nice little fire
and went to be around 9:30.
