February 6…….we woke up in Lompoc, CA and drank some much-needed Starbucks coffee. Our travel plan for the day was to drive around 6 hours or so and wind up near Sacramento on our way to Washington. We stopped at Pismo Beach to stretch our legs….and as we pulled up at Dinosaur Caves Park for what was supposed to be an hour or so driving break….the motorhome was making some pretty interesting noises. Long story short, Kevin wound up replacing the alternator in a parking lot. (This was way better than his initial assessment of a possible defunct water pump!). By the time he had figured out what was wrong, gotten the part, and replaced it we decided it really was not going to be very productive to drive on. So…we found a nearby RV park and made the best of it! (Lovely RV park by the way – very clean, great amenities https://www.pismosands.com ). And hey, there are worse places to be stuck than on the California coast on a beautiful sunny day!
