California is soggy! We checked into a really nice park in Paso Robles on Highway 101 yesterday and the evening was pretty good weather-wise. We stopped here because we had not seen the Hearst Castle in San Simeon. The rain and wind started when we got up this morning. We had reservations for this morning and went over there anyway ... about 30 miles. Because of the wind and driving rain all tours of the Castle were cancelled for today so we took a rain check. It has been a torrential rain and wind of about 30 MPH all day and is likely to continue tonight. Here's a couple of shots of the coast this morning near the Castle. We are snug by the fire in the Flying Scotsman and will attempt the Castle tomorrow. Right now the plan is to head East toward Edwards AFB on Sunday ... but the weather may slow that a bit.
