Day 16 - San Diego

Day 16
ZBT Long Beach Apartment, CA> Much needed Laundromat, LA> San Diego, CA> Campsite 6 miles from Mexican Border


            So after a couple days showing the west coast and ZBT Long Beach how the boys from the East Side do it, we left in the morning to solidify our plans for the rest of our journey. We decided that the rest of our trip would go as follows: San Diego, CA> Saguaro National Park, AZ> White Sands National Park, NM> Roswell and Carlsbad Caverns, NM> Dallas, TX> Austin, TX> San Antonio, TX> New Orleans, LA> Altanta, GA> Outer Banks, NC…… a wonderful journey exploring the South of the United States.
            But anyway back to Day 16. At this point you can only imagine how dirty and smelly our car is and we are so we stopped at a much needed Laundromat. We cleaned out clothes while cooking some lunch on the sidewalk. Once we smelled nice again and our clothes were folded we set off for San Diego.

Pacific Coast Highway

We arrived fairly quickly looking for the main street to have some fun on. After a missed guess ending up in a far too cultured area for men of our taste we set out toward the beach and found some fun on Garnet St. We got a couple beers and started walking toward the water. We drank our beers watching the sun set over the pacific as tons of surfers rode the waves in front of us.


San Diego

Once the sun set we found local beach side bar with 25 cent wings and chowed down. A few hours and a few beers later we set out for a campsite. The closest ones were way too expensive so we set out into the night using our cunning instincts and our trusty GPS to find ourselves a campsite for the evening. We decided to set camp in a state park about 45min outside of San Diego and about 6 miles from the Mexican Border. And no mom were not crazy thanks for your concern though.
