Today had been our biggest day mileage wise of the trip so far. In order to set us up to get to San Diego by the 15th comfortably we had to put in some miles. Turned out we chose a good day to do it as the scenery we blew threw today was mostly lackluster.

The presence of an Air Force base forces the route inland passing through massive farms. It wasn't ugly, or at least not much of it, but it's hard to compare to the coast.

We started the day in morro bay state park and are camping now just outside of Lompoc 77 miles away. We got an early start and tried not to stop often and we got here with plenty of time.

We even had the time to chat up a few interesting people along the way. One couple was walking from Ventura to San Francisco. They had these really neat walking carts that hooked up to their hips with wheels that followed behind carrying the brunt of there luggage's weight.
