The skies are blue with light winds this morning but unfortunately, the forecast is calling for winds to increase as the day progresses and by nightfall, gusty winds of 40 – 50mph and rain.
This morning we are doing laundry nearby the campgrounds. Enroute, we noticed a car wash and decided to hit it after we get laundry done. The car wash includes free vacuuming, and we get the truck swept out too after going through the automatic wash. It feels so good to have clean clothes and a clean truck!
After getting back from our errands, we decided to take a hike here on Sunset Trail. It follows the shoreline, goes through the desert garden, and climbs a couple hills before we reach the end. The winds are picking up and we especially feel them on top of the hills and have to hang onto our hats or they will blow away! It’s warm though at 72 degrees and the trail meanders through dense, brushy areas that blocks all the winds. We find a small picnic area with a small beach area, and since Justice was getting hot, we let him get into the water here to cool off. He went in chest deep and stood there for a bit getting cooled off and refreshed.
We were able to capture a couple photos of new birds on our hike before we turned back around to return to our campsite. It was about 3.2-mile hike in total and we were glad we were able to get it done before the winds picked up and the rain started to fall.
The winds buffeted the camper but not to the level we’ve experienced previously on our trip, and we feel cozy inside the camper with the rain falling. The wind and rain stop late in the night, and I think I heard coyotes sometime during the middle of the night.
