#Cava Robles RV Resort

[revengebakery]

3 Glamping Hacks:
+ Head over to the @campspot website - search by location (you can even keep it general, like “California”) - then filter by the amenities you want. If you want to stay an a glamping cabin like we did at @cavaroblesrvresort, filter by “lodging” sites. You can even filter locations by features like alcohol available (woohoo, party time), waterfront, internet access, golf cart rentals, restaurants, etc). + Check the weather before you go and make sure to bring the right kinds of clothes. Comfort is key - it’s not a fashion show! No matter where you’re traveling, I always recommend bringing a comfortable pair of shoes if you’re walking around, a pair of sandals (just in case there’s a pool) & slippers! I always bring slippers with me when we go places, especially when we’re getting cozy in the great outdoors!
+ Always bring a @yeti cup or some sort of insulated mug. You can use it for everything from keeping coffee warm to making cocktails (my go to “gourmet” travel cocktail is @lacroixwater, @zipfizz & @titosvodka). Not only are they eco friendly and convenient, but help you save a ton of money vs. buying drinks!

  When setting out on this adventure with Beauty and The Beast, we entered into a mystery.

Rim Trail at Patrick Point State Park, Trinidad, CA

    Hiking the ranch

Along the way, we’ve acquired an atavistic entourage – a mix of signs, perceptions, memories – who manifest within us a deep sense of ancestral and divine protection.

While wilderness hiking or stargazing, the subtle murmurings of nature inform us and we listen carefully to learn if we should stay or go and what to do.

Rio Seco Vineyard and Winery

These messages from othery, out-there sources can be shrill in those precious minutes before a deer steps onto the highway or a hail storm descends – and, soothing when wind and rain pummel the rig like a toy as we drive through a sandstorm or outrun a hurricane or tornado.

As citizens of the planet we’re proud to, finally, be able to look to the sky and trust our instincts. And, be it maturity or a life-stage thing, we’re connecting with like-minded others.

Six Sigma Ranch

In Florida, we met a couple – about our age – who lost their first house to the Northridge earthquake and their last house to a recent wildfire and now they’re happy RV residents of the “Same House, Different Paradise” community – what Jim and I call, Living In Beauty.

Rio Seco Vineyard and Winery, Paso Robles

Due to our long-term savings plan, having better health than we expected, and our great investment advisor, Jeffrey Dunham at Dunham & Associates, we’ll soon enter our third year of a location independent retirement as seasonal exploiters of the most beautiful places in America.

Jeffrey Dunham, our Financial Advisor and Amy Gallego, our relationship manager.

A pilgrimage without a destination, a party that never ends. Here we go again! Our third exodus from San Diego.

We’re on our way to Salem, Oregon for Airstream’s Wally Byam Caravan Club International Rally, where we are presenters on the topic of traveling full-time in an Airstream.

Stacked Stone Cellars vineyard

So much has happened since we pulled out of San Diego four weeks ago!

Agua Dulce Winery

Leaving Chula Vista, we took I-15 to I-215 North to Highway 138 and then took the 14 to Agua Dulce Winery in Santa Clarita where we had an excellent wine tasting and retired for the night in their parking lot with wine, crackers, cheese – all the comforts following a long day on the road.

Stacked Stone Cellars

The next morning we drove 200 miles north on I-5 to Highway 46 and the idyllic countryside vineyard and ranch at Stacked Stone Cellars where we spent several lovely days enjoying their top-notch Zinfindel, making mayonnaise from fresh yard eggs, bottling homebrew and learning Paso Robles history from our illustrious host, Don.

Rio Seco Vineyard and Winery

After four nights at Stacked Stone, we moved eight miles down the road to Rio Seco Vineyard and Winery where the Hinkle family (Tom Hinkle, a baseball scout for 28 years) hosted us for an overnight stay in their scenic vineyard and olive orchard. How lovely to share a happy hour and take a “bus tour” with Mike and Erin from Free Roaming Bus.

Morning After walk at Rio Seco

Cutest kitchen ever!

Carol Hinkle, our wonderful host

Dare to be different … yes.

Tobin James Cellars

After a wonderful walk through the Rio Seco vineyard and orchard, we moved a mile or two down the road to Tobin James Cellars – our host for two fabulous nights where we stocked up on Chardonnay and Petite Sirah.

Cava Robles RV Resort

The big surprise in Paso Robles was Sun Community’s new RV resort Cava Robles which had just opened for business. They were calling it a soft-opening because the resort is still under construction. It’s a rare thing to see a resort of this caliber before any guests arrive…

…and it was a little eerie to be among the first campers, even having the place to ourselves for two days! We love Paso Robles and Cava Robles will be our first choice when we return.

Wine tasting, Opolo!

Happy Hour at the bar!

All to ourselves …

We were the only RV parked at the entire resort near the recreation area.

Relaxing at Cava Robles

Jessie’s Grove Winery

It’s always difficult to leave Paso … but we moved north to Jessie’s Grove Winery, a family winery in Lodi famous for old Zinfandel vines and great wines.

Vinnie’s Northbay Airstream Repair

Leaving Lodi, our minds were racing with details about a major project in Wilton. Vinnie Lamica at Vinnie’s Northbay Airstream Repair had cleared a week for servicing Beauty. For our journey to Canada, we wanted more solar power and battery storage, and a nice warm cork floor. Vinnie also gave us some valuable road safety advice on how to stay hitched in the event of an accident.

Vinnie’s has the best digs in Wilton. My, how his new Airstream campground is growing up!

  Julietta Winery

From Vinnie’s, we drove 28 miles to Julietta Winery – and made it just in time for a party celebrating the release of their 2015 Petite Syrah. After a Sunday potluck with members of the wine club, we were shown a beautiful spot in the rose garden to park for the night.

Roseville and Sacramento

We couldn’t leave the Sacramento area without visiting our good friends Marsha and Dale at the Roseville Church of Christ …

Happy 50th Anniversary to Marsha and Dale Gifford!

… and Jim’s colleagues at the California Medical Association – all who actually follow our blog. Thanks! (Sorry Lance, we didn’t get a photo of you)

Mike and Shirley

Dustin

And a walk through Old Sacramento

Six Sigma Ranch and Winery

The next morning we pulled out of the church parking lot for a breathtaking 125-mile drive (I-5 to Highway 20, 53 and 29) to Six Sigma Ranch and Winery.

Highway 20 heading west toward Six Sigma Ranch and Winery

We camped in a valley beneath a giant oak beside a stream where enchanting birdsong ruled the day and frogs serenaded the stars at night. We spent a couple of days there hiking the trails and roads and taking in the sweet fragrance of buckeye in full bloom.

Our camp at Six Sigma

Mount Konocti from Six Sigma

Hiking the ranch

Six Sigma was an ideal setting to test our new beefed-up solar. So Carmen blow dried her hair … and then she blow-dried Pico’s hair …

….while we roasted a ranch-raised pot roast in our Instant Pot and paired it with the 2014 Diamond Mine Cuvée.

Right from the freezer at Six Sigma

A winery with a lot of heart!

Solar-cooked pot roast!

Okay, that’s a bit decadent for camp food but, hey, ya gotta eat!

Jessie’s Grove, Lodi, where days of wine and roses end well.

Cheers! And happy travels!

Cava Robles RV Resort, Paso Robles, CA - October 2, 2019 - October 9, 2019

This is a newer RV resort in Paso Robles.  It has a great pool and common area.  It is convenient to downtown and the many wineries.  Paso Robles has become one of our favorite spots.  We enjoy all of the wineries and great food.  The weather was really nice this time of year.  We stocked up with some great wines.  We really enjoyed Lone Madrone, Tablas Creek, Oso Libre, J. Lohr and many other great wineries.

GRILL MASTER 🔥 What is your favorite thing to bbq? We got a bunch of carne asada and pollo asada to grill and eat throughout the weekend when we were at @cavaroblesrvresort - such an easy way to make breakfast, lunch, dinner & snacks! You can make tacos (throw some tortillas on the grill - serve with onions & cilantro), throw into your morning omelette or sprinkle on some chips with cheese for easy nachos! I loved that our glamping @campspot had a grill & a full kitchen - so much easier to save money on food & drinks while on vacation!🌤 #findyourcampspot #ErinsFakeTravelShow #pasorobles #cavaroblesrvresort #glamping (at Cava Robles RV Resort) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFiigZqhp25/?igshid=94nojltfk82k

That head hilt though. ☀️Thriving out here in the “wilderness”. I feel like a kid again (minus the white claw).

Any hour can be happy hour if you try hard enough. And by trying, I mean popping open a can of fizzy rosé! Spending the rest of my day enjoying golden hour, wearing this extra sparkly dress & heading up to the roof to watch the sunset (with my @folonariwines rosé duh). #ad #For21+Only #ForThePassion (at Cava Robles RV Resort) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFDdS3rhL5F/?igshid=a2icmbkcf0bn
