Stop 36 – Vandenberg Air Force Base, Lompoc, California

We took the scenic route from Monterey to Lompoc down Ca-1 and Big Sur. What an amazing drive even with the fog!

We stayed 7 nights on the space and missile testing base. It’s a huge base with space launch pads positioned up against the Pacific Ocean. We had a chance to visit the Space Museum on base which was interesting for all of us. We went to the beach several times and enjoyed it as much as ever.

This will be the last of the ocean for a while. From here we start heading back east. On base when returning from the ocean we saw a wild coyote! Beautiful!

We have all begun to tire of our travels. I am beginning to apply to jobs, and we are all looking forward to having a home again. We continue to experience amazing sites and beauty, but are ready to settle. We will see how long we continue on our journey. One more stop in California and then onto Nevada and Arizona. We are excited to be in a new state and in the desert. Hoping for positive vibes and continued inspiration to complete our tour of our amazing country.
