Beach Ride

 It's hard to believe that it took so long to FINALLY have an ATV ride!  We needed a part for it before Glenn would drive it very far and the part did come in - but then we had company and time passed but I finally said it was time to take a ride - even if it meant riding in the wind!

Neighbors Jerry and Luann decided to go with us too so the 4 of us set out!  It was NOT windy at first but of course the wind did come up a little bit later!  It was wonderful driving down the beach and enjoying the ocean!



We went up the beach as far as we could go - they've now erected a barrier at the end where you can't go any further, which is new from last year - and disappointing.

On the way back, we stopped at Rancho Leonero to check out their schedule for eating - it's a beautiful place and I love the pool that overlooks the ocean!


Jerry and Louann!  There was a group of swimmers staying there and we talked to some of them - they were headed to swim, even though the waves were gigantic by that time!  WOW - I was impressed they would even try to swim in those waves!


Jerry's ATV (which comes with the house they rent next door) is an older ATV and he had trouble getting over the rocks when we went - the way back was worse and the ATV died and just wouldn't start!  We thought we would have to go back and get a tow rope but Glenn had a chain in the back so we ended up pulling him home on this short chain!  Kind of comical but it worked!


After we got back, Jerry put on the charger and soon had it up and going again!

I didn't realize your ATV was broken! Glad it finally got fixed and you enjoyed your day!

Glad you got to ride up the coast, at least part way!
