Santa Cruz

On Wednesday we traveled 180 miles north on Highway 101 through gorgeous California terrain, green rolling hills, ranging vistas. We traveled though the Imperial Valley which has to be the lettuce capitol of the world. Huge fields with hundreds of pickers.... looked like a hard way to earn a living. We ran into the first rain of our five week trek, kept raining all day.

Jack's brother Archie led us to the Santa Cruz Harbor which has 12 parking spaces for RVs with full hookups. We'll be here until Sunday where I was able to get one night at Sea Cliff State Park right on the ocean.
The harbor has slips for over 800 boats and we are parked with a water view, in walking distance to the ocean. It was rainy and dreary all day. We are spoiled and look for sun and blue sky. The coach and Smartie got so dirty and wet, but neverfear, Jack didn't rest until all was clean.


Today is much better, sunny and pleasant. We met Archie, his wife Peggy and cousin Maggie for breakfast and good conversation.

Jack & I went  to one of my all time favorite wineries, Storrs, grapes grown in the Santa Cruz mountains. Very yummy and fruit forward. storrswine.com

Now it's time for a walk on the beach!
