Day Nine - 2370.6mi

After a long detour around the fire, I pulled into Morro Bay State Park right at sunset (sunset has been earlier as I go further south). The campground was full and I didn't want to ride to the next campsite so I putted around the sites to see if there were other bikes that I could share some campground with. Some people around a campfire were looking at me as I passed so I stopped and asked if I could have a corner of their site. They were bike friendly (Kirk has done the 3-flags tour - the opposite of my trip but in 2.5 days) and let me stay. Thanks Kirk, Tom, Suzie, and Sherry!
The Madonna Inn is worth a stop for its "Roadside America" character.
This is the Mission in Santa Barbara, one of the prettier ones down the coast, and where I started to run into traffic headed towards LA.
This is on the Ventura Hwy heading into LA, traffic was light here, but got much worse as I got close to Santa Monica. Crossing LA was a pain, and I got into San Diego really late and after over 360miles..
