Time at San Francisco Thousand Trails
We were curious to stay at the San Francisco Thousand Trails. It is actually located in Pacifica. The park is situated up on a cliff by the ocean. It was windy and windier the whole time.

Beach #2 Rincon Parkway Campground
Now THIS is a true OCEAN view! Not an HDTV peek-a-boo view, where you must zoom in for the view. LOL OMG!

I couldn’t believe they… Continue reading Beach #2 Rincon Parkway Campground
