The Funnest California Day Yet. . .in Ventura

I have decided that we simply MUST visit
Channel Island National Park while we are this close. . .
and
the best way to get information is to drive over to the
Channel Island National Park Information Center
located in Ventura California. . .

it just so happens that good friends, Janice (AJ) and Debi (and their hubs)
are staying not too terrible far away from Ventura. . .

perhaps we could meet for lunch. . .oh yes. . .of course we can!

since they need to pick up AJ & Rick’s truck
from the repair shop, we arrive a little ahead of them. . .

perfect way to take a hike. . .

glorious waves and surfers. . .
is there any more beautiful sound than waves crashing on the shore?

the rest of the beach wildlife was pretty entertaining too!

and our party has arrived. . .
(guess I needed to use a flash with the bright windows, but you get the idea)
highly recommend the Fish Taco Shack located at the Ventura Pier. . .

so great to spend time together again. . .
we probably won’t see the Binns ‘til we arrive back in Texas. . .

but it does seem we will crisscross with the Hurlburts
for the rest of the summer, as we travel the West Coast. . .yaaa!

What a wonderful, wonderful day filled with sunshine, the ocean, and friends. . .
doesn’t get much better than that. . .

and afterwards, a quick drive down the Pacific Coast Highway

where we discovered about two miles of RV’s
dry camping, right on the edge of the road. . .

Who knew you could even do such a thing. . .
and how do you find out this information? ? ?

’til next time,
Janice and Dave

Addendum:  by asking on FB's RV Tips,
I've gotten an answer on how you can
"camp on the beach."
