Leaving Yosemite I needed to make a few stops for the essentials of gas, food, laundry, and get a shower at the gym (in that planet fitness gang now #purplepride). I was able to find a convenient shopping center that had everything I needed to do in one parking lot, so I took Dobby on a walk around the park nearby and then settled him in the trailer while I ran my errands. Everything took much longer than I anticipated (the story of my life for this trip), so instead of making it all the way to Santa Barbara, we stopped at a travel center for the night since we were well into the dark of night. In my opinion, this is one of the best spots I’ve slept in a one-night pinch. It was clean, felt safe, and had plenty of grass area for Dobby to walk around. This will definitely be a go to for him and me when they are near. We continued our journey to Santa Barbara, and when we could smell the ocean we started screaming at people, asking them where the beach was. We found the beach! And I don’t know if I saw Dobby happier running in the snow or running in the sand. He LOVES IT!
While in Santa Barbara, my goal was to see my dear friend Kahyla, who I hadn’t seen for way too many years. I was able to perfectly park right on her street and spent a couple of nights hanging out and picking up exactly where we left off. I spent some time biking to the beach, searching for a new book, and getting to see the amazing Orchid Show. Thank you Kahyla for the laughs, sourdough, showing me poppin’ off spots, and letting me use the shower!
After some time soaking up the sun and salt-filled air, Dobby and I are heading to Joshua Tree!
Hell yeah!
