Coast-to-Coast Walk minus one day …
Tues., March 18th.
We are camped in the RV park at Camp Pendleton, California. Our walk starts tomorrow. Today we drove from Capistrano Beach, our starting point, up to San Juan Capistrano mission, about 4 miles and then west on Highway 74 another 7 miles. Our target for tomorrow as well as Thursday and Friday is 10 miles more or less. After we reconnoitered our walk, we returned to Camp Pendleton to find the post office in order to pick up our forwarded mail. After asking for directions for the fifth or sixth time, yes a man admitting he asked for directions, and after driving around and through all of Camp Pendleton, we finally found the post office and our mail. Be careful when asking directions out here, we asked one lady where the nearest commissary was, and she said she didn't know. Then we found out it was across the street. That evening we went out to eat at El Adobe, a Mexican restaurant just down Camino Capistrano from the mission. Joining us were Jerry and Cindy Schultz from Olympia, Washington, and Wes and Mary Sullivan from Long Beach, California. Jerry and Cindy wrote the book Sole Mates, which chronicled their walking adventures when they walked from Olympia, Washington, to Atlanta, Georgia, to attend a Habitat for Humanity convention. Their book inspired John to think he could walk across the United States. And I, not being particularly bright, agreed to join John. Wes was a friend of the Goodmans when he and John both were in the military. We had an enjoyable meal and fellowship and agreed to meet at Capistrano Beach in the morning.
