Day 144 (Santee, CA)

Well, the RV repair man only charged us $60 to locate and fix the problem - the internal power switch has inadvertently been pushed in and neither of us thought to check it. Did we feel dumb!!!

The election is over, which brought a huge sigh of relief along with quite a bit of rejoicing. We now have more time on our hands since we’re not so focused on following every bit of news that comes down the pipe. We’ve begun our daily bike rides around the park. We like what we’ve seen of Santee - lots of choices for shopping and for eating within 3 or 4 miles.

We’ve discovered that there’s a couple of off-leash dog parks, each about 7 miles away – one in El Cajon and one in La Mesa. Have we mentioned Karma LOVES off-leash dog parks and so, naturally, we do, too. We’ve been to both of them already.

Our only complaint is the ever present ant or hordes of ant. None of our usual methods have eliminated them; we’ve just slowed them down. Fortunately, they’re fairly harmless though extremely annoying.

The San Diego beaches are 20 – 25 miles away. It’s hotter than usual (again!) and is forecast to be 88 tomorrow. Seems like a day to head for the ocean.
