The campground is Kirk Creek, the only campground west of Hwy 1 on this stretch of coast. Hwy 1 is closed above Big Sur so to get to Kirk Creek you have to approach from Morro Bay.

That photo is two days ago. Locals were talking about how much snow they had this past winter. Outside of Burns we saw swollen streams and flooded fields as a result of the recent snowmelt. Stayed at Crystal Crane Hot Springs about 60 miles north of Alvord Lake and the Steens. Nice folks. Nice hot spring pond. Staff there mentioned the snowmelt and the late spring they have been having.

On the hook
Between Pahrump and Las Vegas. No boost. No power. At the Mercedes Sprinter dealer shop in Las Vegas. Awaiting the diagnosis.

This photo encourages me to always double check the pump before fueling.
Thankfully I realized my mistake, but not before pumping 20 gallons of gasoline. At least I had the good sense not to start it. A local garage pumped out the fuel tank, filled me with diesel and I was good to go.

We were in a lot of dust on Death Valley on Thurs. Stayed in Pahrump that night. Topped up DEF while at the campground and headed for Las Vegas on Friday. The Sprinter went into limp mode on the way. We should know something on Monday afternoon.

Did the tow truck driver follow the rules when taking you into LV? (If more than 30 miles, then disconnect propshaft or use flatbed).

Prop shaft was disconnected. He seemed to know his stuff and the Sprinter shop oF the MB dealer in LV seemed to like him and his company.

My husband is not a fan of the Texas beach boondock... there's the wind, sand everywhere... but it's growing on me because with 30 million people in this state, the routes to privacy can be very few in number. It's remarkably easy to find a big section of beach all to oneself, and there's no denying the beauty of it. Sunrise this morning on the far upper coast.  .

On a trip to the East Coast last year I picked up a new cargo trailer from the manufacturer in Oklahoma. I set it up to haul my Harley Bagger and on occasion the bagger and a scooter.

Trailer is all aluminum construction and very light (1800#) empty. My Harley weights about 900#. Having dual axles it's like the trailer isn't even back there. Fuel mileage drops about 15%+-. Sprinter has plenty of power when towing. I normally run about 60 when towing.
