San Juan Bautista to Paso Robles

Kim and I on the bike taxi in China Town, San Francisco.
We met the owner of this converted motorhome at a rest area and he was quite a colorful guy. He was a leftover hippie about 65 years old. Note the name is 'The Cool Bus'. There is also a bench vise bolted to the front bumper that is painted John Deere green.
Here's a farm scene on hwy 101.
More veggies.


Here's Kim seated at our picnic table in Paso Robles. Beside her is my computer from where we posted today. The temp is 74 and it is nice and sunny.

Sorry we haven’t posted. We have been at campgrounds that had trees so we couldn’t use our satellite and my notebook will only get out on our network. I don’t know what’s wrong with it, but it has been incredibly frustrating. Oh well, don’t let it rent space in your head Mitch. I will probably post three of four blogs today. I have been doing the journaling; I just haven’t been able to post them. Today we traveled from San Juan Bautista to Paso Robles. We will be here two days and then head to a campground a few minutes from Disney Land. We’ve never been there so it should be fun. The drive today brought us totally different scenery than what we have seen in California. Highway 101 runs between two mountain ranges and the valley soil was black and fertile. There were so many different kinds of vegetables grown there and it looks like they may have pretty much a full year growing season. We must have seen over a thousand workers in the fields harvesting, plowing, discing, planting and irrigating. We also saw more and more palm trees. We saw one in the middle of a field of vegetables. That was unique. We also came upon a mile or two of oil wells. There had to have been well over 150 wells. Many of them were not more than 200 feet apart. I have never seen them that close.
