Golden Shore RV Resort, Long Beach, CA, to Valencia Travel Park, Valencia, CA:  Left Long Beach this morning at around 11:20.  Just a short drive—only about 60 miles.  Took the 710 north and then the 5 through the San Fernando Valley through the smog.  The LA skyline was shrouded in haze.  Don’t know how you can live here.  After leaving the San Fernando Valley we climbed into the hills outside LA to Valencia.  Really pretty up here and the smog is hardly noticeable. We’re kind of out in the country. It was 86 when we pulled in.  It’s nice to be able to sit outside in shorts and be comfortable, which is just what we did after getting set up.  The guy in the RV next to us came over and talked with us for a while.  He was in the movie business in LA for years but is now retired and living in Oregon.  He knows a lot about the area and will be a great resource for information.  He was a lighting technician.  Nice guy and has a lot of great stories.  Just relaxed this afternoon.  Will probably drive into Burbank tomorrow and then on to Hollywood and Beverly Hills.
