While we in CA are in lockdown again, it was fun to revisit our trip to Pismo Beach a few weeks earlier. We stayed at the Pismo Coast Village, a really nice park with convenient access to the beach and town of Pismo Beach. This sign is repainted for each season. 🙂 My morning walk... Continue Reading →
Before Thanksgiving, we squeezed a trip in to the coast, driving to the Monterey coast for a few days. Deb always adds great seasonal touches to the motorhome. We stayed again at the Moss Landing KOA Express. It’s a small, clean park with good management. It is close quartered, but we like that it is... Continue Reading →
After our unplanned hiatus from RVing, we were thrilled to heading to our favorite destination, Pismo Beach. In the winter, we like to stay at Pismo Coast Village for the full hookups. Last year when we were here in February it was cold, windy, and rainy. This year, blue skies and temperatures in the high... Continue Reading →
During I last trip, I shared about my backache right before the trip. This time, as if in sympathy for me, our RV had a few problems of it's own. The drive to Pismo State Beach was as beautiful as ever. Our campsite was wide and open, which is the reason the North Beach Campground... Continue Reading →
We had great plans for kayaking and bicycle riding in the Monterey area, but things changed pretty quickly. The morning we were to leave I was in the backyard, and I heard something in my back pop as I was picking something up. Ouch! Kayaking and biking were out of the questions, as I couldn't...

After returning from Grants Pass, we just weren't ready to go home, so we kept driving to Moss Landing, near Monterey, to do some kayaking in the Elkhorn Slough and enjoy the ocean. I checked the tide charts (see below) to decide when go. I wanted to get close to slack tide while avoiding the... Continue Reading →
With temperatures dropping and rain everyday in Northern California, we decided to drive south and camp on the warm Southern California beaches in Pismo, Huntington Beach, Ventura and San Diego. While the weather didn't always cooperate (it is, after all, the middle of winter!), we still had several glorious sunny days and beautiful sunsets. Pismo... Continue Reading →
We escaped to Pismo! After weeks of the flu, very unhealthy air (due to the fires in the Sierras), rain and unseasonably cold weather, we decided to head to the coast, and we were not disappointed! Pismo Beach welcomed us with great weather and plenty to do. We stayed at the Pismo Coast Village, right... Continue Reading →
We took a quick trip to Monterey in September, staying at the KOA in Moss Landing. We love Moss Landing because it's a marina, beach, and farm town all mixed together. Perfect for us! We love walking in the marina and along the beach and slough, and then over to one of the restaurants for... Continue Reading →
The drive to Pismo Beach from the San Francisco Bay Area was colorful, as the fields were growing a variety of vegetables, and the hills were flowering with mustard plant and other wild flowers. Here's some info about that painted barn by Gonzales, CA. We like to stay at the Pismo State Beach North Campground... Continue Reading →
Camping with family makes for great memories. We were happy to camp with Deb's sister and brother-in-law in the Monterey areas as they were finishing their first trip in their new motorhome! Just kidding Mike and Sandy! 🙂 This is their beautiful new RV! We drove down the coast, as usual, to the SANTA CRUZ... Continue Reading →
The Pismo North Beach campground is our favorite place to stay in the area. A map of the area shows why. Since we love to dry camp, we prefer the open spaces of the North Beach campground to the comparatively cramped quaters of the Pismo Coast Viallage. You also get a better path to the...

Monterey and Carmel may be just around the corner, but I'd like to tell you why we love coming back to Moss Landing so much. Sometimes when we visit, we don't even make it to those other more famous places 🙂 Most people know Moss Landing by the huge stacks of the electricity plant, but... Continue Reading →
We visited the Monterey bay for the 5th time in the Big White Box (BWB), enjoying the Carmel Coast and also Moss Landing, where we camped at the Mosss Landing KOA. Each trip, we try to take in something different, and the highlights of our previous trips are listed below. They bring back good memories. #8 https://mobilemosers.com/2013/02/03/3/...

For this months trip, we drove south from the San Francisco Bay Area to Pismo Beach for a long 4-day weekend. Because of the large sites and a grassy meadow, our favorite place to stay is the North Beach Campground at Pismo Beach State Park. It is also next to the beach, the butterfly grove, and is a short walk into... Continue Reading →
A great advantage to living in the San Francisco Bay Area is that we can visit places like Monterey Bay at our own pace, and not feel rushed to take in everything on one visit. We get to come back again and again any enjoy a different visit each time (RV Trip #8, RV Trip #29, RV Trip #37). We... Continue Reading →
We were looking forward to the maiden voyage of our new Sea Eagle Fasttrack Kayak, which we purchased a few weeks ago. We had visited Elkhorn Slough about two years ago and knew it would be a great place to kayak and get up close and personal with nature. The previous evening we were reading... Continue Reading →
We took a short trip to the Monterey area in January. We stayed at the Moss Landing KOA, which is clean and dependable. It was nice having hookups, since we primarily stay in state parks and dry camp....long showers, microwaves, and TV without having to use the generator! 🙂 The last time we were there...

We have been to Pismo Beach many times, but this was the first time we towed our CRV. It really opened up our choices, and we decided to take in a show at the Great American Melodrama Theater (http://www.americanmelodrama.com) in Ocean Beach. Great American MelodramaWhen you think of melodrama, if you think of Snidely Whiplash,... Continue Reading →
We like to stay within a 3-4 hour radius of the San Francisco East Bay for our 3-day weekend RV Trips. On the southern end of this is one of our favorite places to visit - the North Beach Campground at Pismo Beach State Park. This is in part due to the beautiful drive down... Continue Reading →
Dates: 03/15/13 - 32/17/13 I picked up the RV on Wednesday (3/14) after work, as I had my first 5K scheduled maintenance completed by CarTek of Dublin. Ryan at CarTek runs a good operation and he is very knowledgable of RV's as SkyRiver outsources all chassis work to him. We set out the next morning... Continue Reading →
Dates: 01/31/12 - 02/03/13 Picked up RV at 5:30pm from SkyRiver...waiting for me as scheduled! I took it home and plugged it into the house power. The next morning, we drove to Moss Landing near Monterey. Left the house at 10am-ish and drove to Half-Moon Bay and then down the coast. Stop at a scenic... Continue Reading →
