Starting odo 7987
The motel is next door to an IHOP, so we have breakfast there - they
have the calories listed for each of the menu items. It is amazing how
many calories are in some of the items, 1500-1800 calorie breakfasts!
I cannot imagine normal people needing so much!
Shyam tries to order some tires but the place seems to think there is
some problem with his billing address, so we will stop by a US Bank to
sort it all out.
On the way there, I hit something and get my first flat, a pinch flat.
The rear tire has a few things embedded in it but looks ok otherwise.
As I fix it, a couple of women tourists ride by waving to us.
After the bank, and a grocery stop, we hit the road, electing not to
use the beach bike path as the park we are headed to is a good way
down the road and it's already about one.
Progress is good until we hit the Tesla store where we talk to the
sales lady and take pictures of ourselves sitting in the car!
Finally, we arrive at the state park but thy say the hiker/biker spots
are full after those two girls who came in right before you. The park
guy says that if they make an exception for us, then the homeless will
take advantage. So we are invited to camp on the highway like all the
rest of the homeless people.
Declining, we move on to a budget inn in San Clemente.
We eat at a Mexican restaurant that has margaritas more expensive than
the food, but I'm pretty sloshed when I finish, glad I only have to
walk across the street!
I don't know what the answer to the homeless situation is, but making
things inhospitable doesn't seem like the enlightened answer.
