| We camped in the desert for a few days with our friends. You are permitted to camp for two weeks on BLM land. Being self contained makes it comfortable for a few days. Many people spend the winter; they change locations when their time is up. |
 |
| Your free to travel everywhere. We stick to trails so we don't disturb the vegetation. |
 |
| It is amazing how the vegetation survives. |
 |
| We had a wonderful stay at Carlsbad State Park. The campground was on the cliffs above the beach. The majority of the campground was dry camping. Some sites had electrical and water. The staff at this Park were very friendly; we will definitely return. |
 |
| We enjoyed quiet walks on the beach. It was off season, very few people. We did encounter a 1 year old male seal. The park rangers assured me it was healthy, and no need for a rescue. Apparently male seals are kicked out of the colony at one year. |
 |
| As always, California doesn't disappoint with sunsets. |
 |
| Ed and I got lost looking for the indoor boat show. We ended up here. |
 |
| Not the boats we were looking for. |
 |
| Happy Campers everywhere. |
 |
| This home has a great view of the ocean; not during an earthquake though. |
 |
| The visit to Venice Beach was interesting. |
 |
| The entertainment on the boardwalk was endless and interest to watch. This is where you encounter all walks of life. |
