Days 15-18 - Morro Bay

 Day 15- July 22, 2024

Still testing positive, but symptoms are tolerable and, at this point not unlike a summer cold. Not fun, but able to ride a couple hours to recupe at the beach. 

We stopped in King City, CA, about halfway from Morro Bay. There were 8 back in and 8 head in stalls and many were empty.

There was a Cybertruck pulling a Model S on a trailer. They were still charging when we left.  Had our usual lunch tuna chips & pickles. Charging was 40%to 90% 25 mins





Once we got to Morro Bay, I spent the first day in the trailer, second on the beach for a little bit with a mask. (I know, it was outside and I just had it, but being really cautious. Besides, I don't want to give it to anyone else either.)

Day 16 - July 23, 2024

Day 17 - JULY 24, 2024

Hung out with Matty, Henk & Vernon (plus Roger & me). We walked around town, had a late leisurely lunch/dinner, and walked around the rock, which I don't think in over 40 years of doing the Morro Bay trip, I have never gone to Morro rock.


(above) We found an outdoor museum in town while walking around and did some exploring.

No explanation that I could find other than a cool statue.

DAY 3 on the way to Little Rock, Arkansas

Image
July 9, 2024 Night 2's Nashville's KOA was just okay. Good thing the AC is on to drown out the traffic noise. Roger said there was hot water but the showers are small plastic stalls. The park is between an open mining pit and a very busy freeway. Also lots of biting bugs, but we have spray for that. Hope this is the worst KOA on this leg of the trip. They are usually much nicer than this one. On the other hand, dinner was lobster tails over raw carrot/zucchini salad. I used our RV induction cooktop and am very pleased with it. Best $99 I have spent in a while. Charging was interesting today. The extreme heat effects range so we stopped 4 times. This was fine because we were drinking lots of water 😊. Let's just say it's nice to be bringing your own bath along with you. Stop1 was Tesla Supercharger at Holiday Inn Express in Dickson, TN. 53% to 90% costing $9.70 and took 20 minutes. Charger was 240kW (fast) Stop2 was Jackson, TN Tesla Supercharger Casey Jones Never saw so...

DAY 1 - HERE WE GO AGAIN

Image
This photo is from our first charger stop at a SHEETZ in Farmville, VA. There were no pull-in bays, so we pulled in sideways, leaving 4 spots still open. It was that or disconnect, which seemed stupid. I should make note of miles and state of charge. Starting tomorrow I will.  It's all so new as we have had the trailer since November 2022, three weeks ago, we traded in our (Tesla) Model 3 for a Model X (SUV) that can pull the trailer. That way we could keep our lovely truck, but not chance another cross country trip with her.  So, there will be lots of charging info as well as camping info in this year's blog. The first leg of the trip had to be cut from 2 weeks to 1, so we are going straight across and (other than tonight) are staying at KOAs all the way through. So the "East to West" leg will be mostly about charging & performance data (re: towing with an "X") and [brief] KOA reviews. As usual, we have 3 parts to our trip. The first is East to West. Th...

Day 32 - Headed HOME

Image
Stayed at Rifrafters in WV  In a beautiful part of WV, used Starlink and plugged in car to get us to Lexington. STOP 1 -  Lexington, VA Charged from 15% to 94% 25 minutes  (fast charger)  $25.74 Had to ask two old cowboys to move their truck that was taking two spaces--one of those stalls was the head-in stall we needed. They were not happy, but they moved. They took two spaces (for their rusty old truck) in another area (I think one was handicap). Another truck parked in charging station and left his ICE truck RUNNING while he ran into the store. I was taking my routine pictures of our rig and he asked, "you want me to get in it?" As though I was photographing HIS dirty ol truck LOL. Yeah, right.  Both incidents left a real hillbilly feel to this particular spot. Geesh. STOP 2 -  Charlottesville, VA Took 30 mins to get from 15% to 80% but it was only $10 for the session Surprising for Charlottesville Someone was parked in head-in stalls and all spaces full...
