After staying the night at Stanger Vineyards in Paso Robles, we drove the Noovo Plus van south to El Capitán State Beach Campground, with a couple of interesting stops on the way.

A nice thing about a van is we can stop whenever we feel like it; we wanted a place for lunch, so I looked on the map and saw Ken Adams Park nearby, so we just stopped there for lunch… despite the sign for mountain lions and snakes in the area:

The toilet’s cassette was starting to get full, and our next stop wouldn't have any hookups or dump station, so we went to Cachuma Lake Recreation Area to use their dump station:
