Day 23 ( A traveling day) Pismo Beach, CA - Pomona, CA 222 miles  New total = 5,291.6 miles
We had arrived pretty late in the day yesterday (about 6:30 PM) and slept in a little in the morning.  Left about 9 AM and headed through the hills toward LA.
Before we got into the "city", we did view an area of vineyards

The roads soon became freeways and we just got into the groove and melded in with SoCal traffic.  Usually 3-5 lanes quite full.  We had chosen a campground quite in the city as we were scheduled to meet up with Jean's brother and his wife who live in N. Hollywood.  Our campground turned out to be right beside the LA Fairplex (fairgrounds).  Also housed there was an airport, and a drag strip.  The fair was in process and a rock concert was the bonus for the night.  Needless to say our evening did not lack any background sounds.  Michael and Dee joined us at the campground about 7:30 PM and we had a great cookout of burgers by mstr. chef David, salad by Dee and strawberry shortcake for dessert by Jan. We exchanged childhood memories and stories of travel until quite late and had no trouble falling asleep despite the ongoing concert.
Michael, Jean, Dave & Dee
