Had breakfast in the rPod and cleaned up, then packed down. Gas in Salinas and home by 6 pm. I would have liked to have stayed longer and ridden the steam train through the redwoods but I wanted to be home before dark to put the trailer away and I had to work the next day.
We hadn't ridden the train in years; decades actually, until we went down there last year and spent the day in Roaring Camp. We had a great time. We even enjoyed the mock "train robbery". At one point, we walked north along the old tracks and followed them north where they fade into the woods. Interesting history of the train route through the Santa Cruz Mountains.

Yes. It was fun but an exhausting weekend. We were up until 1:00 am Friday night / Saturday morning getting things ready. Up at 6:00 am and hitched up and left town at 7:30. Gas and breakfast in King City, then got to Carmel at 11:00 am. Had to find a residential street to park on because I had the trailer with me. The Dachshund meet up started at noon and check in time at the campground, in Felton, wasn't until 2. Wife wasn't happy with the location I chose to park. It was three blocks from the beach, but it was a good location. Wide enough street and no driveways to block. Plus, the trees were high enough that they wouldn't take out the top of the pod. Carmello street three blocks up from 12th and Scenic.

You should buy a lotto ticket for the simple fact that you were able to find street parking in Carmel at all, let alone on a Saturday, let alone with your RPod. You really lucked out! Quite a trip, glad you enjoyed it.
