11/21 Headed to Paso Robles

As the geese were flying overhead, we readied our rig to head to Paso Robles. We also made a Costco run and filled up with diesel at the Flying J. Our last lower price diesel I'm afraid (3.44/gal).

You can barely make out this huge flock of geese, but we could sure hear them.
The traffic was heavy on our way south but the only problem we had were the mergers. They just keep coming expecting you to slow down and let them in. This one guy came right up beside us and kept coming even though he was running out of road. He just shrugged his shoulders, like "oh well". They just don't have the concept of yielding.
We went south on I-5 and then turned west on 152. It was all good roads and took us through a variety of truck farms. In Gilroy, garlic capital, our eyes watered at the odor. They must have been processing the garlic. Further down the road they were harvesting iceberg lettuce. The fields are constantly rotated year round. As we got closer to Paso Robles there were acres of grapes again. We also had the aroma of eucalyptus every now and then.
We pulled into Paso Robles RV Ranch mid afternoon in warmer weather...or at least we thought so.
