After I arrived at La Posta RV park, I discovered that the owners had finally sold the place. Word is that it’s been sold to Costco as a site for a new store. We know that the land right around this area on the beach is $400 US per meter squared (m2), right across the street it’s $300 US m2, so here, a couple blocks back from the beach $250 US m2 wouldn’t be out of line…that is $6,000,000 US for the owner. An older guy with beginning Alzheimers, bad enough that he has a paid helper. Perhaps you could say he waited to long to get his price, I would agree. I’m told the guy has been asking for $6 M for years.
Anyway, the owner & family ‘allowed’ a shut down party for the RV’ers here. Some RV’ers have lived here for years or have been coming here every year for decades. It was a pot luck and I brought my famous cottage cheese salad. The owner sprung for the extra tables and chairs, the balloons, the plastic ware, and that is about it. Guess he didn’t want to cash that lovely $6 M US check just yet. We had fun anyway.
Getting set up…

A week later we had another party. This time the owner did pay for everything. Food, booze, setup, tear down, even a band. We were all pleasantly surprised.
