Cali Coast, Part 2 of 3, 1/18/09

We mountain biked at Montana de Oro State Park on the San Luis Obispo coast, just north of Pismo. There were beautiful sea cliffs and migrating gray whales!


There was a scary drop off beside this single track.





After our ride, we walked out on the sea cliffs.


There was an 8-foot swell and some really good surfers.



We stayed and watched the sunset.


There was a cute seal playing in the surf...

Sunset over Pismo Beach...

"Alfalfa, will you swing me?" -- ""Sure, Darla."



After we cracked heads...

Is your head okay?

Hmm. Maybe we should charge North Face to wear their stuff...


Back at Fred's parent's house in Massachusetts. The crew...



Playing with the wii...


We spent a lot of late nights playing this game "Colorku"...

I made this tree ornament at least 25 years ago, maybe 30 :)
