Apparently there are benefits to cold water therapy.

Today is the first day of spring! You'll be out camping before you know it!

There are definitely a lot of considerations for taking an RV on the beach. Some beaches are easier than others, but it's definitely a love it or hate it kind of thing.

We're still finding sand 2 weeks later 😅 despite a deep clean.

I'm a total wuss when it comes to cold water! So much so that I used to wear a 4mm wet suit in the Caribbean!

Wow! I’m a wuss in the cold too, but I think I could handle the Caribbean!

Oh wow! Too bad our paths never crossed. Maybe next year, eh? Camping on the beach at Padre is definitely on our list to do one day. We've visited before, but never camped there.

Did you get a chance to eat the strawberries in Pismo? They were huge and incredibly sweet. It would be fun to connect. We spent a couple of weeks in Van Isle and came back home to Manitoba this week. 110 days on the road. Great fun.

Thanks for taking time to watch our video and to comment. We love sharing our experiences with others 😃

@@HomeARoam Thank you very mutch... have a nice Start of the week.... see you….

Yes, some of the private campgrounds in the area are double and triple the cost of camping on the beach or in the state park.

It was so interesting to see the sand piling up around us.

I grew up on the ocean, Miss the beaches. Do not miss the sand in my drinks though 😂😂

Hi James, great question. We generally offer Benny to come out wherever we are camped. Sometimes he wants to explore and sometimes he doesn't. We try not to force it on him so that he doesn't associate going outside as something bad. He is always on a harness and leash outside, unless he is inside his playpen in which case he just wears the harness. It took a little while to train him to accept his harness and leash and walk normally when it's on, too, but he got used to it. We reward him with treats when he comes out so that he associates it with something positive. There is a lot of really good info on a website called Adventure Cats, too if you're interested in learning more.

@@HomeARoam Thank you for this information. P.S. I binge watched your videos last night! I noticed Bennie was in other videos as well. Your video on Napa Valley was so cool!

We've learned so much since this video, like now we have a proper wind blocker and it's awesome!

No special pass was required when we were there, except to make a reservation online ahead of time.

Yes, yes it was. We only wish it was warmer out when we were there 🙂

Hahah, yeah we still love camping on the beach despite our complaining about the sand and the wind!

Hi Doug, It's true that salt eats everything! We lived in the Caribbean for several years and the ocean breeze coming through our apartment even rusted some of our USB cables over time. That said, a week or two at the beach isn't going to destroy your rig. There are lots of RV parks in Florida that are right on the ocean and I think as long as you rinse things off periodically you're going to be alright. Sure, it will accelerate corrosion, but you also have to consider the beauty and experience of camping so close to the ocean.

Have we pronounced it wrong? We tend to pronounce 'i''s a bit differently.

@@HomeARoam no biggie, plz- like fizz

oh that is very different 😅 Thanks for the correction!

@@HomeARoam sorry, it's because of nuns and my mom constantly correcting me, I cannot simply let it go, you'd think I'd grow out of it at my age. Kind of like when people say "revert back" instead of "revert" or "where is it at?" instead of "where is it?" It's difficult having an English professor for a parent. My brother lives in peeezmo btw. We call it that now, you have started a trend.🤣
