Dings and nicks and scratches

It has been seven weeks of full time RV life. SEVEN WEEKS! I can't believe how fast the time has flown by. How little we have learned and how much we know, at the same time.

The beast already has her dings and nicks and scratches. I mean, we have already put between two and three years worth of 'campin' time onto her little frame. 

We managed to melt, literally melt, the tiny propane grill that came with the RV. Along with a bit of the heavy plastic rear lining of ol' Reba-- Our trusty 2015 Chevy Colorado.

A twelve inch sharp metal lion, very pointy mane, crashed through the front of our television while moving to a new camp site. Well, really the moving part was fine. It was the husband forgetting to remove the bungee cords off of the bookshelf before attempting to push out the side that caused the real problem. 

Everything on the bookshelf crashed forward, including said lion. Right into the TV that was holding all of the contents secure. The lion's mane roared right through the TV screen. Sadness all around.

We have also managed to do a lot of touristing. Sightseeing all the things we are usually to busy being busy to 'see'.

We have made it into Pier 39 on Fisherman's Wharf. Sea lions, salt water taffy and fish & chips. I love finding the great little hidden local ships no one else knows about. I also love the shoulder to shoulder crowds of tourists in places like the Wharf. 

Spent lots and lots and lots of time just enjoying the camping life.

But we have also had adventures beyond the big city and small trailer.

We hiked through the redwoods up in Purisima Preserve

Picked pumpkins, puddled in the waves at Half Moon Bay and just had a grand autumn weekend.
Perhaps some delicious seafood was had, as well. Nom, nom, nom.

  

Then, we got truly adventurous. We took a five day tour down to the 'Happiest place on earth!'

We drove back up through the Saddleridge wildfire at the closed down the 5 and 210 freeways for a few hours. Once back we were welcomed by two 4.5+ earthquakes. And, of course, all the aftershocks.

Ah California living.

I don't know why I thought I would magically have more time to write once we moved into this thing. I have many, many pictures and videos. If things ever, ever slow down, I will post them all up. The good, the bad and the melty.

In the mean time, we will just keep rolling along in our home sweet rolling home.
