Coming back from Ventura we stopped off at the Gaviota rest stop to give Karma (and us) a bathroom walk-about break and to change drivers. Coming out of the rest stop we immediately entered a tunnel and came out in a valley. The temperatures began to rise from the 75ᵒF (24ᵒC) that we had experienced on the other side. Very quickly we needed to turn on the air conditioner as the temps kept rising, finally stopping at 99ᵒF (37ᵒC) for approximately 24 miles. Once we broke from the hills keeping the cooling Pacific breezes away, the temperatures dropped back to the mid-70s as quickly as they had risen just minutes before.

RVing With Farm Animals – Oceano, CA
When we were parked at Santee Lakes, Ruthi and Karma would occasionally meet Watson, the miniature pig, Well, he’s not all that miniature but definitely not going to get up to the 300-400 pounds of a normal boar. The couple that RVs with him also have a dachshund. They got the pig as a piglet. So, it doesn’t know any different life style. Karma was not particularly interested in Watson, nor he her.
Here at Pacific Dunes, Ruthi and Karma have encountered Otis, a billy goat. Like Watson above, Otis has been RVing since he was a kid. They also carry hay for his meals. He gets long walks multiple times a day. It appears that he has had his horns removed/stunted. Karma and Otis really didn’t seem interested in each other.Ruthi had at first thought the site with hay maybe had a horse in the park’s stable and brought their own feed.
For their morning walks, Karma and Ruthi pass the large pasture that has 10 horses used for the trail rides the Park offers. When Karma isn’t too freaked out, they do try to walk by the stable area where there are about 30 horses boarded. If the horses haven’t yet been fed in the mornings they are more interested in us and the resident mule lets us know. Karma doesn’t like it when they are moving around in their pens or making noise. We guess she thinks they are huge dogs and not at all friendly.
