DAY 27 surprising left us with a good night’s sleep despite the uncertainty of the spot that was chosen. The view was great and the pull off very spacious which was a huge contrast to the planned stop we abandoned. Without much pause we headed out to see the still foggy sights of the PCH (Pacific Coast Highway).

The fog dissipated a little later on, returned, and left again. We encountered Elephant Seals along the way and learned a lot about them from signs along a trail that overlooked their protected spots on the beach. We stopped in Morro Bay and took a walk at the port. The big hill you see in the gallery photo is the top of an inactive volcano. It was too bad it was so foggy as we were unable to see the nesting Peregrine Falcons that reside there.

We also stopped in Santa Barbara to check out the visitor center for the Channel Islands National Park. The cruises lasted a good deal of time so we would have had to be there much earlier in the morning to catch one. We jumped back on the road and just enjoyed the ride toward LA, where it is hard to find a free place to spend the night. Our choice was to stay in a busy pull-off of the PCH. Busy might be an understatement. Let’s see how we fare!
