Road weary

According to the man in the 5th wheel next to us, there was much excitement here about 11:00 last night--police with flash lights, even a helicopter hovering nearby--but Nancy and I slept through it all.

This morning, our first order of business was to see if we could extend our stay here at Guajome Regional Park.  We could, but only for one more night and to do that we would have to move to a different spot, so we decided to try for Sweetwater Summit, another county park much closer to downtown San Diego.  It took several attempts but we finally managed to get reservations there for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights.  Though we may stay in the San Diego area for much longer than that, we still haven't decided for sure.

After putzing around for awhile we drove to the Camping World in San Marcos, about 12 miles away, to look for levelers.  We bought a set of bright orange plastic wedges that look like oversized door stops and a compact bubble level to go with them.  We also bought light bulbs and a drawer latch, so before we left the parking lot, I got to play handyman.  Both changing the bulb in the outside light by the door and replacing the latch took a lot of time and effort because of my limited supply of tools, but eventually I prevailed and my self worth got a nice bump.

Before leaving, we also checked out a new 19 foot Roadtrek RV parked nearby.  Small RVs like this have been catching our eye a lot recently, but after getting a closeup look at one, I don't think Nancy and I would find it big enough to suit us, even if we were dogless.

We then drove to Vista, which is wedged in between San Marcos and Oceanside, for some groceries from Costco.  We were going to gas up the RV as well but we still have half a tank and decided to put it off to another day.  All we really wanted to do by then was to get back to the park as we were still stressed from yesterday's trip across LA, and though brief, today's outing was enough to leave us feeling drained.

No idea what this is.  Guess I need a bird book.
