We did a quick trip up the coast Friday afternoon, spending the night in Cambria, then coming home Saturday. We had planned on staying longer, but had a hard time finding a room Saturday night because of the Memorial Day weekend crowds.
After the normal hassle of getting through Santa Barbara, we did a couple of Wine/Whine caches-Wine/Whine # 58 andWine/Whine # 19. This photo was taken near #58. Then it was on to the coast.
After a nice dinner at Linn’s in Cambria, we drove up the coast to see the elephant seals. Late May and early June is the time the sub-adult males haul out and molt. The “beach” was crowded with them. It was fun to watch and hear them sparing with each other. SE AL the ELEPHANTS is the cache site with the larger of the two viewing areas. There is also a viewing site a little farther up the coast that doesn’t get as busy.
Saturday morning started out a little gray and outcast, but it quickly burnt off to be a beautiful day. There were a few caches along the boardwalk across the street from our motel. We enjoyed getting the caches as we walked along the boardwalk.
We were joined in our walk by quite a few very well fed squirrels looking for handouts.
After Cambria, we headed down the coast to Cayucos, picked up a few caches, visited the community garage sale, then headed toward Paso Robles. We found one cache and had a string of 3 DNFs, but enjoyed the ride.
Our plan was to spend Saturday night in San Luis Obispo, but it seemed like a lot of other people had the same idea. The town was sold out, as was Santa Maria, so we decided to just head for home.
It was an enjoyable adventure. Here is the list of the weekend’s finds:
