And The ADVENTURE Continues...: June 18, 2015 Day of relaxing and June 19, 2015 Travel day to Half Moon Bay State Beach

Thursday, June 18- Day of relaxing and lying around

Today we just relaxed in the sun enjoying the view from our campsite. We heard noise coming from the racetrack below us so Jeff, Mike and I went to check it out. Sure enough they were racing street cars and we saw a couple of them wipe out. Nobody got hurt. We ventured up a pretty steep hill and back and then I decided to go to the highest point in the park and succeeded. I estimated it to be about a 3 mile walk with some steep inclines. We got back and some of us took naps. There was nothing on our agenda but that. This was definitely a nothing to do day.

This is how high our climb was that we hiked

We climbed up this hill, down it and up to the green over hill almost in the center

Friday, June 19- Travel day to Half Moon Bay State Beach and a quick trip to San Francisco

We started out today with a 9am departure to dump tanks and get ready for a short 100 miles to a Camping World and then to Half Moon Bay State Beach. We arrived at the beach around 1pm and got set up and had lunch. Jeff and Amy’s coach is on the beach and ours is across the street but we can still see the ocean. We can’t get much closer than that. We then decided to head in to San Francisco. It was breezy out so we hoped that the fog would be out of the bay and we would get a good view of the Golden Gate Bridge. It worked out as planned and we had a great day viewing the bridge and we could also see Alcatraz.

We then went down to Fisherman’s Wharf and wandered around. We saw the Sea Lions at pier 39 and stopped by Boudin Sourdough French Bread Bakery. This bakery’s bread was created in 1849. It is a blend of French bread and tangy sour dough used by the gold rush 49er’s. We picked up a few loaves of bread and were not disappointed. We attempted to go to Chinatown and have a meal but the traffic was terrible and we could not find a parking spot so we headed back to the campground and had Chinese for dinner, had some Port and enjoyed our first sunset in this area. What a day.
