I spotted this nice ride up on the central coast of California during the recent road trip. It was parked near Morro Rock, overlooking the bay just in the background.
The sidecar is an aftermarket accessory manufactured by Liberty Sidecars of Seattle. It sure makes for an attractive addition to an already nice motorcycle.

The last night out on our recent tour of the Central Coast of California, we stayed in an RV Park near Paso Robles, along US Route 101. Western decor and buildings reminiscent of the old west prevailed throughout the park.
This was one of the nicest RV campgrounds we visited. It had pull through campsites with full hookups and a picnic table. The weather was agreeable too, with warm days and cooler temperatures in the evening. At one end of the RV Park (opposite end from where we camped) there was a swimming pool with a playground next to it. The showers and a laundry were adjacent to that.
Close to the site where we camped, we had the dog yard (see the chain link fence in the background) and a little shady sitting area with a rustic bench. Verna took this photo of the bench and I converted it to a black and white image. Click on the image to enlarge.
These pretty Morro Bay ground squirrels are little beggars. They’re bold and crawl over to you and sit up, expecting you to treat them to a morsel. This one was panhandling next to the famous Morro Rock when we drove out to get a closer look. There were dozens of them, all boldly approaching each visitor who got out of their cars.
If you let Verna loose with her camera at a classic old California Mission like San Miguel near Paso Robles, she will usually deliver more than one artistic photo. In addition to a couple of others we already posted, this photo of a rustic cart built in the late 18th century nestled into some prickly pear cactus is a visual delight.

About the Mission:
Mission San Miguel Arcángel was founded on July 25, 1797 by the Franciscan order, on a site chosen specifically due to the large number of Salinan Indians that inhabited the area, whom the Spanish priests wanted to evangelize. It is located at 775 Mission Street, San Miguel, California, in San Luis Obispo County. The mission remains in use today, though is undergoing earthquake remediation efforts.
Thinking about getting a travel trailer, that is . . .
We liked this one that has a roomy bedroom with queen bed and a large stall shower. Overall, it’s a 28 foot long rig with one pull out. This is the floor plan:
We would not only use this for vacation, but for overnight weekend get away and possibly as a hang-out when we look for property in Arizona. Coming soon . . .
Our first campground during our recent vacation was at Buellton, in the Santa Ynez Valley, just north and a little west from Santa Barbara along US Route 101. We pulled into the RV park, “Flying Flags” and set up the camp.
I took an image pair from behind the twenty-four foot trailer we rented from Cruise America to combine into this 3D image. Click on the image to enlarge.
As usual, you can view our campsite without 3D glasses by clicking on the 2D version here.
