After
another successful roadside pit stop, we pushed forward towards the Santa
Monica pier and the final morphing leg of our Route 66 journey... Craig
successfully braved the ridiculous traffic with the help of co-pilot Danny, we
made it to the waterfront and went for a quick stroll down to one of the Route
66 information booths. They told us that the final street sign was actually on
the pier itself and that once we had finished there we could come back and each
get certificates stating that we had successfully completed Route 66!
We went
down and checked out the sign and even though it was early, there were still
tons of people walking around the pier... Quickly getting changed into the Morph
suits for one final time, we grabbed a few snapshots and posed for a few
pictures and then went and changed out of the suits... It felt good in a way,
knowing that we didn't have to publicly expose ourselves anymore and that we
had finally completed the entire Route 66, but, it also meant that our trip was
almost at an end...
We walked
to the end of the pier and had some lunch, as well as going on the roller coaster that they had there... Well Matt and I did anyway haha! Danny and
Craig went down to the beach for a beer and Adam waited for us at the
entrance...
After
everyone had finished walking around the pier, we head off towards San
Francisco in hopes to make it just outside off the city so that we could go on
our Alcatraz tour the next day! We made it to a town just outside of the city
called Patterson. The owner of the RV Park we stayed in was really nice, he
ended up chatting to Adam, Matt and I for almost 3 hours haha! As well as
offering to introduce all of us to his 3 half Swedish daughters, who were all
about the same age as us haha...
We went and
had dinner at a small Mexican restaurant across the road from us to have dinner
and a few drinks; it was amazing as usual, even to Craig's surprise haha! After
dinner we went back to the RV and crashed out, in preparation for the big day
we had ahead of us!
Next
stop... San Francisco and Alcatraz!
