True Review: El Capitan State Beach (California)

El Capitan State Beach: September 2020

This is one place we have been planning to stay for a few months. As with most California beaches, you have to make reservations up to SIX MONTHS before you want to go. It's insane. We got lucky with it being right after Labor Day, COVID cancellations and mid-week. We only stayed for two nights, but it was an ideal first stop on a very long trip.

The campground is great. Our spot was right on the edge of the highway side. It's also where the train tracks are. I like trains more than traffic, so I didn't mind that. But when we go back, I'll look for a beach side spot. 

Yes, we will go back. It's a great dry camping location. No generators after 8pm and no noise after 10pm. We were able to use our propane fire pit, which was awesome because the marine layer was thick, moist and cool. Ah... Moist. A friend's favorite word. *ha ha*

 

Next time we will try and grab a spot on the beach side. It's beautiful! No matter where you stay in the campground, it's just a short walk to the beach. I would recommend a cart if you need to take a bunch of stuff, but beware that there are stairs and rocks to get over before you hit the sand.

This is also a great spot if you are visiting anything near the Santa Barbara area.

We've just added a new page to our site to cover all the amazingness that is Cabana Boy! I call it "The Rock'n." CHECK IT OUT! If you have any photos of The Anomaly or Cabana Boy, you can post them on our Facebook page or email them to hunrnrta@gmail.com. We also re-titled our "About" page to " The Roll'n ." I thought it was more appropriate. Peace Out - RNRTA 4 LIFE

Happy 2023!

Welcome back to www.rnrta.com! So... 2022 happened. As mentioned in the last post (ONE YEAR AGO) we have pretty much transitioned over to social media. But, sometimes I get in a mood where I feel like sharing. Welcome to the couch. Check out the Intsa , but no Tweets this year. I don't think so anyways...  Facebook ? Go for it! Still alive and old over there.  Spawn is now in Kindergarten. Cabana Boy is rocking locally again. And I have a new permanent gig. When we travel, it's usually just myself and Spawn. Cabana Boy will travel with us locally.  Oh! How could I forget The Boys! Welcome Riggs and Murtaugh! Another reason we didn't travel a whole lot this year. These two became part of the family and we had to keep them quarantined until they has all their shots. Still working on those True Reviews, but head on over to our socials and catch up.  Cabana Boy won the "BEST" decorated campground! Finally. Tee hee!

Whoa! What Do You Mean It's 2022?!?

 Howdy, everybody! I have no idea where the rest of 2021 went... Oh wait... I do remember! I took the advice of the youngin's and went to a social media platform. I don't find it nearly as exciting as writing for the blog. Does that make me officially old? Yup. And lazy too. I barely even kept up with the Intsa or the Tweets. Facebook ? Well, I feel like I did much better there.  Let me share a couple of things that we accomplished over the remainder of 2021 through the sharing of images. We became  certifiable  with our brand new business cards! In June, Spawn and I went on a Girl's Only trip through Utah and Colorado. We met up with some family here and there, but the roads were narrow, winding and sparsely populated. Until we got to the National Parks. You would've thought is was Black Friday with the crowds. Luckily, Spawn managed to fall asleep EVERY SINGLE TIME we got to monuments. So, I didn't feel guilty driving though slowly and goose necking out the windo...
