San Diego Parking

- Start date
I would go about 25 miles north on I 5 to a town called Encinitas.Go west off the interstate and you will come to Hwy 101,continue on for about 2 blocks and there is a large lot ovrlooking the beach and you should be able to stay there. Lots of restaurants and shops close by.
We have spent several weekends there,it is a pleasant town and appears to be . Going east off the exit will take you over a serious hill to a typical suburban town with the Walmarts etc.

In nearby Coronado, Ocean Blvd. is an easy truck route. Highway 75 leading to it is a little tighter but doable. Ocean Blvd. runs right along a public beach that has a building with bathrooms. A couple blocks away is the downtown area that features lots of eateries and interesting shopping. The street is free of parking restrictions. We parked there for a good part of a day and enjoyed what time we had to spend.
Your maps may show a toll bridge leading to Coronado. Tolls are no longer charged. It was a gray day when we were there so photos did not turn out well. One is attached to give you a sense of the parking and beach. You might enjoy a day trip to Coronado. We would have liked to stay longer.

Pelican!!! You got my load! Was put on it Thurs for Tues pick-up in Illinois. Best run we had in 4 and 1/2 years with Panther. Had to call them Mon morning and tell them that my co-driver is in the hospital after being rear-ended in her personal vehicle on Sunday (had gone to Cosco to buy supplies for the trip!). Janice is still in the hospital and I will be going solo for awhile. I just wanna wait long enough to make certain she'll be okay before I hit the road again.
As for the load, they couldn't have picked better substitutes!

I'm sorry we got it under these circumstances, but you are correct it is a sweet load! I hope your co-driver gets better quick.
We wondered why it was booked so long ago and we just got it. Now we know.
Dave, thanks for the info.. I didn't think to "estimate" the length LOL
Phil, tell Dianne thanks for the reminder. We planned on having full tanks before we got there.
Rich, may try Encinitas first, since it's going to be closer to our delivery.
We appreciate all the help

We ended up staying at the KOA Campground San Diego. It's a very nice place, lot's of friendly people, patrolled by campground security 24 hrs and best of all QUIET! I would like to thank everyone for the suggestions they gave us. We will keep these in mind for the next "mini vacation"
