Fun on the road last week

Eating lunch at rest stop

We pressed on. I-5 brought us sticker shock.

$4.99999/gallon.
We scored a delightful site
at Morro Bay state park

Reserved 3 months in advance and it is a slow time of year. We lucked out in the weather this week with dry daytime temps in upper 60’s and low 70’s.

Morro Bay Harbor and Rock

We did a lot of local riding around the town. I went to liberty twice to use internet. And got a long ride to Avila beach 22 miles south near San Luis Obispo.

Along the harbor the Sea Otters rest and nurse their young.

Avila beach.

Didn’t know there was such a wonderful marsh area across the road. Birds galore. Spouse in heaven. For the first time we saw a California Thrasher. Lotsa shore birds; white pelicans, egrets, amazing wildlife in the area.

Harbor across from campground

Now time to move on. We have reservations for Arizona, however are going to remain on central coast for rest of week then head home. The weather has been amazing.

Elephant-ette Butte

Recently made a visit to southern Nevada’s oldest State Park where I found this interesting formation.  Wow. We called it “Elephant-ette Butte”.  The state park has Elephant butte on east edge which is not as interesting.  this one hard to find with a 1/4 mile hike off the road.
