We took two days to get to Avila Beach. Towing through California isn't easy!!! Small gas stations and parking lots with limited entry and exit points were challenging. We made it here with a drive time of over 12 hours. We made too many stops. This time we are travelling with Max and it was challenging at first. Within the first hours in the middle of the desert Lexi found a tick on him. Gerald was driving and there was no where to pull over so Lexi had a life lesson of pulling the tick off of Max. I was pretty much grossed out thinking we have to be in the cab for 4 more hours with the tick dog. The first thing on the to do list was to purchase a tick collar. We stopped in Banning for the night. The KOA was nice and very rural.
We got in the car early in the morning to get through Los Angeles before the traffic. We made good time and made it to Buellton around noon. We stopped at our favorite restaurant Andersons. We were craving their Monte Cristo sandwich and famous pea soup. The fog was really thick on the way up so we couldn't see much of the ocean. As we entered Buellton the sun came out.
We arrived at Avila Beach around 2pm. We unhooked the trailer. The KOA is pretty empty and we have all the spaces around us to ourselves. We went on a bike ride to the beach. The path is paved and starts right behind the KOA. It is a 30 minute ride to the beach. Lexi played and Max slept very well when we got back.
