3-Day Father & Daughter(s) Trip (non-kayak)

Caught 2 of these guys along the jetty. Rocks were a little more sketch than I expected to hike across. Slow and steady.

Heading north to ocean cove. Hoping they aren't full yet.

Good time at ocean cove. Bluffs were a lot higher than I realized and fishing them just wasn't a possibility. Had fun exploring and playing around. Everyone's exhausted and ready to relax. Original fishing plans didn't pan out, but still got a few crabs on this trip for a meal. Overall, the trip was perfect. Couldn't have asked for a better experience with the girls.

Gonna swing by the Yolo bypass on the way home to see about getting my name in the hat for the secondary draw and hopefully hunting there tomorrow. I should have a few amazon packages waiting for me when I get home that I'm excited to bust out (dozen mallard decoys and a duck call). I think I've got it in me for one last adventure tomorrow.

Day 2

Hey that brings back memories, hope you had an awesome time.  I used to take my son and daughter on excursions almost the same way.  Had a Scamp with bunk beds as a first trailer, can't tell from the pics if you have a Scamp or Casita but they tow like there's nothing attached.  Miss those days with the kids, thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing your trip and beautiful pictures Pdsosa.

Close on the camper guess, but it's actually a 1985 Perris Pacer. I think all these types of campers have almost an identical interior layout, so very similar to what you were describing. Originally came with carpet on the walls (first thing to go on the interior reno that we did). It' been in my wife's family since the original purchase and it got passed to us about 7 years ago. It's tight for a family of 4 but we make it work. Light, easy to tow, and cozy. We need to get the exterior painted, but that's for another project.

That's awesome you restored it, and made it yours.  Never heard of that one before, nice to learn something new.  Only other similar fiberglass trailer I've known was the Burro but I've only seen one of those.  All are great for a young family.

Priceless.

Thanks for sharing. Your children will enjoy those memories and pics forever.

First 3 days were a blast, now it's time to buckle down for the last hurrah and hope for redemption after some failed first attempts: first time with a crab snare (fail on the first cast), first time rock fishing from shore (bluffs ended up being too high to fish, another fail), and first time duck hunting (experience TBD). Regardless on what happens tomorrow, I'm excited to give it a shot. I came home to a dozen decoys and a duck call. Decoys are rigged up and ready to go. Practiced on the duck call and feel confident I can imitate a dying duck...need a little more practice to sound like a real one.

Lottery placement isn't great for tomorrow's duck hunt and I'm not excited about the 3:46am check in at the hunter station, but I'm committed. Hopefully I don't have to wait too late into the day to get my opportunity to hunt.

Time to play a game of duck, duck, goose...well, at some point in the day when my # gets called, but I'm here and ready to go.

PS-Wind sucks when it's already 40 degrees out (in case you didn't know) and I'm questionable on my choice of layers. Regretting not throwing a few more layers into the car. Too late now.

I'm in!

What a fun looking trip!  Glad all your plans paid off in fond memories
