Pismo Beach to San Francisco

Pismo Beach to Santa Cruz
Toured Hearst Castle and added four hours to our travel day.
San Simeon to Santa Cruz a day to remember:
-very windy, hilly road
-no fuel on route (sweating bullets)
-found fuel (low fuel light on, quite awhile; had to back around to get in and back around to get out)
-Santa Cruz RV park not at address advertised (in the dark)
-alternate RV park full and too small to turn around (very tight -in the dark)
-finally proper directions to original RV park ( an expensive parking lot no amenities, set up in the dark, raining hard)
-drive around and around, we are tired, hungry where to eat?
-happy ending -found Santa Cruz diner with a good environment and meal.
