ell last night we had a talk about where to go next. Ton said there was a great road from where we were camped into San Diego. She had fond memories of a trip to Coronado Island we took about 20 years ago and wanted to see how it has changed.
We took California Highway 78/79 over the San Jacinto mountains and it was nice. A continuation of the high desert environment, with a few California Oaks occasionally. Not too hard of a drive and worth the effort if you need to go east to west versus I-8.
We were hoping to get into the Navy RV park on Coronado as it has a great view of San Diego Bay and all of the ships. Unfortunately it was full so we ended up staying at a RV park near the Junction of I-8 and I-15.
We headed over to Coronado to do some shopping at the Navy Exchange and Commissary. That taken care, of we went downtown where to Ron’s amazement things had change since he was last there in the Marines 20 years ago. We had a nice beer sampler at Coronado Brewing Company. It is worth a stop. Final stop for the day was a drive down the silver strand between San Diego Harbor and the Pacific. Great beaches some of them public and some belonging to the Navy.
