day 2

Morro Bay to Newberry Springs

Woke up early, made myself some yogurt and fruit and realized I forgot coffee filters. Packed up the car and headed back down to the waterfront for a jog. Glad I didn’t make coffee because I got to stop at Scout Coffee for a perfect iced latte and goat cheese scallion scone.


Drove about 5 hours to Newberry Springs, where it was a cool 103 degrees.
Listened to more of my audiobook, a good episode of This American Life [835 : Children of Dave] and a bunch of music

Officially made it into the desert!

Stopped at Roadhouse Restaurant at Kramer Junction and had straight up the BEST grilled cheese with avo since the Missouri Lounge closed. It cost $13 with an iced tea and tax. The server was so sweet and thought my lunch looked so good she ordered the same thing.

THE grilled cheese with avo


Arrived at my airbnb - a guesthouse at a property owned by a very cool artist, and jumped in the heckin’ pool.

day 1

El Cerrito to Morro Bay

Listened to The Nightingale audio book and Charli XCX on repeat

Arrived around 5pm to a beautifully foggy evening. Got my car organized for sleeping and headed into town. Took myself on a long walk by the water, got some fish tacos at Tognazzini’s Dockside Restaurant, and moseyed back to my campsite to snooze.
