SLO was a friendly and quant place, and we just met some folks that live at the Co-op in the park (with Circus bikes, hula hoops, and a mini keg of beer oh my!), but the coast and chill time was calling so we headed 30 min away to Montana de Oro National Park. It was a beautiful climb to the site; through a Eculyptus forest (planted?), along the coast. The site was a steal at $15, outhouse style. The ‘Clettes set up camp, cracked some beers, made a mean pot of veggie chili and enjoyed the sun set over the ocean. Ahhhh, paradise once again.
The following day we rose early to a hot sun and packed up quickly so we could enjoy some reflection time on the beach; a mini “heart circle”. With the tour more than 1/2 done and the guarantee of more adventures to come it was nice to hear from all the girls. The conclusion? Best time ever.
Refreshed and renewed we hopped in the van and rolled towards San Fran.
We just had our driving break and lunch stop at Shasta Lake, actually the north tip off of exit 702 called Lake XXXX. We had heard about this area from a bunch of people and prepped enough to have swim suits on the top of our packs. When we arrived it looked as through the whole lake had dried up! After asking some local campers with wet suits, they directed us to paths that lead down to the water ….. way way down. The setting was “weird”, but the lake was refreshing. The dirt was a rich red, from the iron deposits?
