NB Traffic - Castaic to Oceano, CA

We thought great! This is a short hop (less than 200 miles) should be easy and relatively stress free. California 126 West to California 101 along the coast heading north – cooler temperatures for the last 2/3rds of the trip. For some reason (again no construction or accidents), the traffic funneled from 3 lanes north of Ventura to 2 lanes all the way to Santa Barbara where we went back to 3 lanes. While there was a lot of traffic, we thought that after the merging we should have been able to get to an acceptable speed 40-50 but no; we went from 25-30 to 40-50 and then back to 25-30. Weird!! This Southern California traffic.

Once we hit Santa Barbara and returned to 3 lanes it was easy sailing North!!!
This is a busy park especially for the Labor Day week-end. I don’t think there is an open space in the entire park. Lucky for us we got here first (with respect to each of our neighbors). We got comfortably situated, arranged and unhooked before dinner. So nice to be back where it's sunny, breezy and 70 degrees - heaven!!!! Especially for Boots, for whom this years above normal temps in Santee have been extremely - - - uncomfortable, shall we say.
