Chula Vista California

Greetings this morning from beautiful Chula Vista California! We traveled Interstate 8 yesterday, left the motorhome in AZ., stopping off at Yuma Arizona and El Centro California, looking at the area to visit and stay in April when DH races the Baja. We stopped at one of the only rest areas left open on the road between Phoenix and Yuma.
The great State Government has decided to close most of them and the State Parks to recoup funds. I think they're nuts. The snakes and scorpions don't care I'm sure. We like the El Centro area. Lots of green areas,more farming than desert.
We headed up through the Imperial Sand Dunes 11 miles into the state of California and through the Coyote Mountains and Cleveland National Forest.
We climbed to Altitudes above 4000 feet, and before dark the thermometer registered 42 degrees. Coming down wasn't too bad for all 6% Grade, I did it after dark! Right into city traffic and we navigated right to our hotel here in Chula Vista on the first try! Now I remember this traffic. We didn't use a GPS either! Today we will take a drive around the San Diego Bay. Check out some RV Resorts and head north to Oceanside and we will stay in Carlsbad....on the beach for a few days. Happy Birthday DH on Saturday. Too Bad it's forcast to be 60s and rainy all weekend. Will run and take advantage of the sunny day today! Here we go!
