Re-Visiting Chula Vista: Imperial Beach and the Border

Chula Vista RV Resort is a destination! Check out their web site for fun activities the second weekend of December! We enjoyed an open house Friday evening, December 9th, and shared in the fun of the holidays as several RV clubs were there with all their Christmas decorations! One row, each rig completely decorated! Another Club, with this coach for sure the Winner!  Saturday, December 10, all the businesses along the bay were open for snacks and hot chocolate, as we walked along enjoying the lights of the boats in the marina, stopping for snacks along the way. The San Diego Parade of Lights was scheduled for Sunday evening the 11th. We chose not to attend this time--wanted to depart on a Sunday rather than fight the crowds on a Monday...

The winds died out after Yuma, particularly going through the mountain passes on I-8, from Octollio to El Cajon, which always have  warning signs for high winds! Thankfully, we avoided the winds! We have a pull through site, with ample room for our bikes, jeep, and patio chairs. Friday we "practiced" with Rupert's Tail Wagon made by Burley, riding around the RV park and the surrounding South Bay Park. Rupert did very well! We are calling his ride the LRC for Lord Rupert's Chariot! Yesterday we packed a lunch, with snacks for Rupert, and took off on the Bayshore Bikeway .
