Buellton to Banning

Woke up at 7:00 this morning to blue skies and sunshine - cool, but looking good. We knew we had a long day so by 9:00 we were packed up and ready to go. After hooking up the car we left Flying Flags RV Resort and stopped for gas before getting on the freeway. Hwy 101 from Buellton down through Santa Maria is a really rough stretch. There is a lot of constructin, the pavement is reaqlly broken up in places, there are a lot of twists and turns with very heavy traffic. Can you spell 'nerve wracking'? Here is the last photo and our last look at the Pacific. Our next big body of water will be the Caribean.


South bound on Hwy 101 we had pretty clear sailing all the way through to Ventura and over the hill to Thousand Oaks. Shortly after that it slowed down to a 15 mph crawl for about 45 minutes before picking up again. Somewhere around La Verne we stopped to walk the dogs and grab a bite to eat. Then it was back on the 210 again. For a Saturday traffic seemed fairly heavy and stayed that way all the way to the I-10 East.

We pulled into the KOA in Banning shortly after 3:00 this afternoon. This leg, 193 miles. Total for trip 1,419 miles.
