Kelly and I hooked up the trailer and spent three days at Morro Bay State Park. On Thursday, we arrived to a hazy afternoon, followed by two days of complete fog (all day long). This image of Morro Rock and the three stacks of the power plant was taken from the rock formation on top of the museum. Thursday, we spent most of the afternoon exploring around the campsite. Oh yeah, we found the Dairy Queen and their .99 cent hot fudge sundaes. That one made into my Favorites list on my GPS!The next two days involved some day excursions. Our first trip on Highway 41 took us to Atascadero, with a stop at an avacado farm (lots of ripe avacados for sale). The following day we took Old Creek Road from Morro Strand Beach up through the lush green countryside. From Old Creek Road we took Highway 46 back down to Highway 1. This is such a beautiful drive up some windy roads that take you from elevation 50 feet in Morro Bay to 1,795 feet at the end of Old Creek Road. Lots of green hills, oak trees, cattle and horses. Once back on Highway 1, we proceeded north to the Elephant Seal Beach just south of Big Sur. The female seals gave birth in December and January so now the beach is full of new pups and a few dads (see pictures below).
