This morning the van didn’t start. The battery was completely dead. We just hoped Mike had accidentally left our isolator switch on.

Thankfully we had just bought a jump starter the other day, and it worked a treat. We drove ten minutes to Walmart to stock up on supplies and have a poo.

Thankfully Rodger started again and we think that the problem was, Mike left the isolator switch on overnight and it drained our battery.

Today we continued down the coast. Did I mention we’re now in California? The coast here is just as nice as Oregon.

We stopped at Baker beach, a charming beach a short scramble down a steep hill. It was also a clothing optional beach so Mike got a bit of naked time.

After the beach, we started heading inland towards Vegas. There is a massive wild fire burning not far off our route, apparently the 4th largest in California history. We just hope we won’t be too affected by it.

We stopped at a little national forest campground for the night at only $5 per night!

Mike thrashed me at cards, but other than that, it was a pleasant evening.
