Trip south aborted


We were forced off the road about 10 miles north of the Bay of L.A.turn off. We did not roll but caused a lot of damage. So won't be seeing the whales this year.

Do you need help of any kind?



Forget about the danger and think of the fun.

I hope the damage was just to the vehicle and that you are okay.

What forced you off the road? Did you get assistance from someone there?

Sorry to hear it.
I went off once in my Ford Ranger. It was scary and rough but I got lucky and no damage.

Francisco at Lopez garage at Bay of L.A. Got the RV and Sami. out of the ditch and repaired the drag link cut off the exhaust and changed 2 tires. My right head lamp is gone but we are O.K. We're In Camalu stuck in a protest over the fuel price the road is closed. Francisco and his crew did a very good Job. And the police were very helpful.

A truck was stopped with lights out going north over the center line. I slowed down but tire went off edge of pavement. Could not steer back. The truck took off but others behind me stopped. I haven't checked my dash cam yet.
