Interesting "camping" spot

I hung around Santa Barbara until this afternoon (because why not?).  Carpinteria State Beach had a campground but was only 10 miles away.  I did stop there for a swim and a shower but wanted to bike more.  Emma Wood State Beach was another 15 miles but was possibly just for RVs, and had no services at all, including bathrooms and water.  I looked at Warm Showers and found some hosts in Ventura, about 17 miles away.  The one that responded runs a coffeeshop downtown and let's cyclists set up on the patio once the shop closes.  So here I am, with a tent on a patio in downtown Ventura as traffic zooms by.  Ahhh bike touring. 

But get this - the fair is in town!  I'm mere steps from Ventura Fairgrounds, where I will be heading shortly to enjoy all that the Ventura County Fair has to offer!
