January 10 through the 14th

Our next stop is Pismo Beach at the Elk's Club. We are 2 blocks from the Ocean and the weather here is usually pretty warm. We stayed here last year and we really liked it. We are going to stay here for 3 days.
There is a restaurant named "The Hitching Post"that we liked last year so Kent wanted to eat there. It is about 10 miles in the hills from any small town but its worth the drive. When they sat us down we were seated next to the Barbecue pit. They use hardwood for fire and raise and lower the platform as the meat is getting done. They use Olive oil and spices on the food which when put on the meat flames up and gives the steak a excellent flavor.
Pismo Beach is where a lot of people like to take their camper, 5th Wheel, or motor home right out on the beach where the surf comes in and camp. To get to the beach there is a hill that goes down to the sand and after a few go through, the sand gets loose and pretty deep and they get stuck. Of course there are the guys (and gals) who love to show off the power of their big trucks and someone is always willing to pull them out. We also take long walks down the beach to where the river flows into the ocean, we turn around and head home stopping at the exit to watch more rigs leaving and getting stuck. They let the air in the tires down to 20# and it makes the driving on the soft sand easier.(pictures)
They fill them back up when they get out. One day we went to the Post Office and we saw an Estate sale sign. We went in to check it out and it was pretty old junk. The owner was out back and she said she had more things out there, so we decided to check it out. In the back was a complete setup for a beauty salon with the cutest light green stations with mirrors and pink hydraulic chairs for sale. Using one of the chairs and mirrors was the owner giving her son a haircut with a pair of scissors that looked like they wouldn't cut paper. Sharon couldn't help but be amused watching, but it drove her crazy knowing it was all wrong. Sharon asked her if she was a stylist and she promptly said NO! She was just trying to fix a bad haircut from the salon in town. I am sure you know the rest of the story~~~~~ yes ~~Sharon finished the haircut, they were both very grateful (especially the son) and Sharon smiled the rest of the day. Sharon said that was sooooooo much fun!!!!!
