The fuel prices are still falling.

Today is a very short blog. Fuel prices are still falling. We are at $1.95 a gallon. Unheard of. Also there is really great travel deals happening with the airlines. Be patient when looking for them. The airlines are short on filling their seats.

Mendocino county is unreal.






We got away. Last minute dash. Took off up the coast. We wanted to do what our customers do. Camp in the van. So we did. Mendocino county north of San Francisco has some of the most amazing countryside in the world. Mysterious, enchanting and plain old terrific.


We stayed at MacKerricher State Park which is has over 10 miles of ocean coastline. The camping arrangements are very private and pretty reasonable for vans at $20 a van. http://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=436


The next day we bootscooted via the park office and received some trusty advice from Tom the trusty park ranger. He told of us a place on route 128 called Hendley woods. This is an old growth Redwood Forest. Some of these guys top out at 300 ft. Absolutely amazing. It makes me help understand the world a little better when you stand next to one these majestic giants. These trees have been around for 1500 years or more. So much has gone on in their lives. Amazing trees. It is a must see. Route 128 to Boonville from the coast at mile marker 18.

The photos do not do them justice.
Back to San Francisco until the next time we can get away.
Last note. Big shout out goes to Anne. You made our day. Let us know when you want to book.
Cheers

Lost Campers is pretty lucky.


I am a pretty lucky guy. I sell travel in the most incredible city in the world. With the most unbelieveable access to the country. I travel this bridge nearly everyday and live just around the corner of it. I also know the secret hidespots to this city that would blow your mind. I am just very lucky.

Green R.V's

Everyone is moving towards the sustainable future. It was only a matter of time before the R.V market had to move down this path. Hence the green RV. Check out the article. Well worth it. I would post the photo however I think we may have a copyright issue.

Fuel prices keep sliding

The fuel prices keep falling. This is less then what it was 3 years ago. The plus is that it is an amazing time to travel in California. More bang for your buck. But who knows when it is going to stop.

Interesting things to note.

41 cents sterling will get you 1 litre of fuel.

77 cents canadian will get you 1 litre of fuel.

96 cents australian will get one litre of fuel.

51 cents euro will get one litre of fuel.

These figures were based on Travelex exchange rates. And the math was worked out by myself. Forgive me if I am out a few cents.

But you get the point. The fuel as it stands (and I have traveled a fair bit ) doesn't get much cheaper. That is why I am stunned that it keeps going down day after day.

Cheers

Another fantastic day in the city. Featured is the Cliff House. This is the third time this fantastic building has been rebuilt after been damaged and destroyed in past earthquakes. Don't worry it has been awhile since the last big one.
