Well folks the journey has ended. We are safely back home. Gary did an awesome job doing all the driving. We had a marvelous time and really enjoyed ourselves. Of course the traffic that greeted us as we neared LA was miserable and something we definitely did not miss.
Here's our last stop, Flying Flags RV Resort in Buellton, which is near Solvang. Very nice park, very large at 356 sites, but everything was well situated and we had a pleasant auto tour of Solvang and of course picked up some awesome Danish to take back to the MoHo with us. And I couldn't possibly pass up split pea soup at Pea Soup Andersen's - it's a tradition!
Tomorrow we will tackle the cleaning of the interior of our home on wheels. Very dusty for sure. She'll get a bath at the storage yard later this week. I'm going to miss her. We were very comfortable and she performed beautifully. We had no problems climbing hills and going down those 6 and 7 % grades. The transmission sounds like it's going to blow up at any time but that's normal and she got it done. As I reflected on the trip overall I keep going back to how grateful and blessed we feel to be having these grand adventures in our lives. We are anxious to begin planning our next adventure for sure. We have a lot more confidence in our home on wheels now. We have also had lots of practice with the processes of plugging in her umbilical cords and unhooking them and all that is involved. The car towing and the hooking/unhooking of the car we've had lots of practice now. We travelled a little over 2000 miles. Oregon is a beautiful state and we would readily go back. We only used air conditioning twice, that's how nice the weather was.
Here are a few pictures of our California coast near Ventura and Santa Barbara. Thanks for following along with us. I will be trying to keep the blog up with a post now and then, maybe once a week, until we hit the road again. I'll let you all know for sure.
