Started to rain as we were leaving around 9:30am this morning, and rained most of the way to Santa Paula (HWY 126). We got home around Noon (stopped at a fruit stand in Fillmore) and about 30 minutes into setting up our home "camp" it started raining again. Rained on and off until 4pm. Very, very cold today! Have had both electric heaters running since we got home.
Had a great week at Rincon Parkway (Ventura)......sat by the fire yesterday for about 3 hours watching sunset, and evening lights come to life. Yesterday we rode the Ventura River Trail up to Ojai from site #119....had lunch at Starbucks...they have these great Pannini sandwiches. Total round-trip mileage was 36...Elaine did great! At $27 bux a night with an ocean view, who can complain? Until this morning I would say almost 100 of the 127 sites were empty. By the time we left I could say it was up to 50% occupied.
Our favorite time of year to visit Rincon Parkway is November to February. The weather in Ventura is very moderate, even in the winter, and since it is the off season it is not crowded.
