But first, we sat outside by the firepit (not lit) and just enjoyed the late morning sun. I even took a panoramic!
Panoramic of our site
Beautiful hills in our view
Not sure he can cope with the stress of it all...
Disconcerting that this requires a sign...
Cute little Cabana's with loungers surrounding the pool
Then we were off to Vicky & Bruce's for a visit and saw this statue in a field beside the road not sure what the details of it are but there were a lot of this type of statues along the route.
Horse & Buggy statue
Our friends are staying in a swanky RV Resort, and Vicky took me for a tour around the place as it was dark last night when we finally arrived there...

Grey Stork wandering the grounds
Their park is beautifully landscaped
An empty lot
After spending a nice afternoon visiting we suggested they let us buy them supper since they had cooked for us last night. With many options around we actually chose a local place because we are still unfamiliar with the windy dark roads and didn't want to get lost or worse... so we went to a very small, very loud bar/restaurant just down the road from them. A different experience to be sure as it's a rough place to look at and the smell is... interesting, but the food was really good!!
Big thanks to Vicky & Bruce once again for a great day.
Gotta love the local experiences, new places and so many new faces, keep having too much fun and more!
ReplyDeleteMust say having people around has been a huge morale booster for us. We're actually enjoying this adventure probably for the first time since we left Canada. Only day 2 but so far so good. Apparently there are lots of places to go and things to see around here also so we look forward to that.
DeleteGood times, good friends and jeepin’ it’s going to be a good time!
ReplyDeleteYes indeedie!
DeleteJojoba Hills rv (skp) is a lovely park there! Glad you are meeting up with friends and enjoying.
ReplyDeleteYes we looked into that one but its 55+ and we're not yet.
DeleteIt looks like you are having such a great time on your adventure! I wish we were going to be out west so we could meet you. I hope you'll consider doing a video for the DRIVE-Powered by You video that Mike and Patrick are working on--it would be great to see your faces and hear your story. Have a happy Thanksgiving! Safe travels always!
ReplyDeleteThanks Dawn, I read your blog about Drive this morning and haven't talked to Brad about it yet. We've got a lot on the go at the moment. Please remind me if you don't hear from me in the next few days.
DeleteThe horse and buggy and other metal art are the creations of Ricardo Breceda, who has his studio right on CA 79, a couple of miles west of Aguanga.

He had an event last weekend, did you happen to attend? His sculptures are also prominent in the Anza-Borrego State Park area. We're in Jojoba Hills, from your "Aguanga" tag we assume you're in Rancho California (?).
Just east of you at Vail Lake at the moment but moving just the other side of you very shortly. We tried Jojoba but they didn't have a spot for us.
DeleteSorry I meant West of you at the moment.
DeleteI run to Rainbow, Temecula, Camp Pendleton Marine base on to an area North of Aguanga once a week, to check on my beehives plus feed. I love the drive and if you can stop at Rainbow only restaurant you will be pleased with the food. It is South of Tememcula.
