day 76: oceanside to pacific beach

we have decided the three places that we are considering for relocation are: wilmington north carolina, charleston south carolina and san diego.  with that being said we are focusing a bit more time and energy in seeing san diego thoroughly.

we tried to camp in northern san diego at san elijo state beach, but the reservation process and rules for the state beaches are jacked up.  we were not able to find reasonable accommodations so we back to a place we have previously visited in pacific beach called campland on the bay.

i got in two good sessions at tourmaline surf beach before the pacific went flat.

day 74: morro bay to oceanside

our plan is to see as much of california as humanly possible.  in order to do that we are making stops in places we missed on the way up.  northern san diego county is now on our radar and we camped for a couple days in oceanside.

oceanside is a chilled out surf town with a fun beach area.  i got a couple good sessions in at the beach break, waist to chest and long california lines.

while in eceanside we had a great dinner.  teriyaki chicken boston lettuce wraps with sprouts and cuccumbers.

Cashmere's log - Day 74

Happy new year! It was happy as we stayed somewhere with a big rock and I could run free on the big beach and we even went for walks in the dunes at night. I am glad I got to run and play because now we are in yet another "rv park" which is short for "rv parking lot." It is all cement with big signs on the very few small patches of grass that say "no dogs!." But of course there is a "dog walk" which stands for "small barbed-wire fenced in area with mulch pit next to the train tracks and rv storage area that was too small to use for another campsite." As if I will stoop so low as to go there. No... I held it about 18 hours until mom and dad took me near the beach and we found the only patch of grass without the no dogs sign on it. I am not allowed on the beach here at all! And people actually sneered as they walked past me... humph... I usually make people smile?!? Even the ducks in the so-called "creek" behind our site are laughing at me. But I am not the one living in a cement drainage ditch fooling myself that is is a creek. So there!

surfing cayucos

morro rock right outside my front door was indeed breaking while we stayed here, but the break was disorganized and closey-outy.

just down highway 1 a couple miles was cayucos and i got a good session in at the pier.  the locals were nice, i slid right into the lineup at the peak and scored some long lines.  it was fairly clean and throwing chest high bombs.

thank you hedwig for the cayucos recommendation!
