If you’ve ever experienced a wintry Nor’easter in NewEngland, you can understand why so many people connected with the “Mamas and Papas” singing California Dreamin, “On a winter’s day I’d be safe and warm if I was in L.A.” Travelling through the state in our RV with our dog, we liked the warmer weather. But it wasn’t always that dreamy.
Dreamy and No-So-Dreamy
Things we liked were tempered with a few things we didn’t.
Like: Fun beaches for dog are accessible. Lots of socializing, chasing each other, and catching frizbees and tennis balls.
Dislike: Dog beaches often require walking further beyond the people-only beach for the privilege of frocklicking with your pet on the beach. They also include more rules, such picking up after your dog (understandable) and keeping the dog on a 6 ft. leash (more than half of the visitors ignore this one).
Like: There are lots of scenic roads with beautiful vistas and sites unseen if you don’t venture beyond the highways.
Dislike: Hairpin turns, ridiculous speed limits (mostly on the high side) and obnoxious drivers in lambroghinis honking mad at you for being cautious on the hairpins.
Like: Smooth highways.
Dislike: bumpy highways, narrow bridges, low bridges, and drivers who prefer to run you off the road rather than let you in.
