~ Just the Facts ~
Day 1 - Friday, June 22
Camping: Rest stop on Hwy 41 east of Paso Robles, CA
Restaurants: Black Bear Diner in Salinas, CA
Activities: none
So, our Day 1 was 4 days late. Our plan was to leave on Monday, June 18th but we didn't leave until Friday, June 22 due to the brake situation on the FMC. Liza and the kids took the opportunity to jaunt up to Carson City/Reno to see her family. (Hi Jody, Matt, Lee, and Igor!!!) This was how our trip was supposed to begin so we didn't want to miss that quality family time. We drove back to Santa Cruz on Thursday in hopes that the FMC would be ready soon!
Friday, mid-morning, we got the word that it was ready. So, Liza hit the store and stocked up on food. We hit the road just in time for Friday rush hour. Still, we were finally on our way!
The kids drove in our Jeep and met us at the Black Bear Diner in Salinas. We hit the road again and drove until we were done. We stopped at the rest stop on Hwy 41, east of Paso Robles. We were tucked in with some of the noisiest trucks we've encountered at rest stops. Rest stop camping isn't the best in the world but it's great for a drive until you are done and get an early start kind of camping. And, uh, free!
