This is a first come, first serve (i.e., no reservations) campground. This is where being retired has its perks, like getting to the campground early enough to get a site. When we get there, there is hardly anyone around (but this is short-lived). We're happy to find a site big enough for the RV with a great view.
Ahhh, a road along the shore with no cross streets...peaceful (not!). Unfortunately, our neighbor just across the road is Diablo Canyon, the only operating nuclear power plant in California. The plant operates 24/7 and the shift changes every 8 hours. This causes an unexpectedly high volume of traffic driving past us for each shift change!
The Port of San Luis also creates traffic passing our site. On Saturday night, we heard a loud "Wham!" and thought someone had hit our car! It was dark and drizzling, so difficult to see. Across the road, it looked like a head on collision with a chain reaction of 4 cars rear ending one of the cars in the accident. Tom noted that it was odd that there were no people getting out of the cars...
After calling 911, I find out from Tom that there was only one driver. She was a restaurant worker headed home from her shift at the Port. She had been texting...so you can probably guess the rest of the story. She wasn't paying attention and drifted across the road and hit a parked car head on with enough momentum to back it into the 4 cars parked behind it! No one was hurt, but they had to get several tow trucks to tow ALL the cars.
