Lompoc to Morro Rock

Yesterday we drove 70 miles up the central section of the Pacific Coast Highway, and it was is amazing.

  At Oceano Beach, campers are allowed to pull their rigs right onto the beach.  This area has large sand dunes, and lots of people bring their ATVs to tackle the hills.

Morro Rock - there are cars parked around the bottom of it.  It was formed as a volcanic plug.

Along this part of the coast, heavy fog drifts in during the evening, hangs around in the early mornings, and disappears during the day.  It stays very cool, with temps in the 70s, and cold wind.  We wore jackets most of the time.
 
We had the best ever fish tacos for lunch at the harbor.  Rich was amazed at the size of the crabs and oysters they had for sale - oysters as big as his hand, and crabs 7 to 8 inches tip to tip. 
 
Today, we head north again, this time for two days near Cape San Martin.
