San Luis Obispo - Too Hot!

Upon our departure from Park Sierra, we drove southwest to San Luis Obispo.  [They call the city and county SLO.  I guess they live too fast to say it slow.]  Nice little California town.  The downtown area reminded us of Eugene Oregon.  And the Riverwalk in San Antonio, Texas.

But each of two days there, the "unusual" 90 degree heat drove us out to the coast. 

First day we relocated to Pismo Beach, a prosperous beach town with a small boardwalk and a fishing pier.  And great fish and chips at the Pismo Beach Fish and Chips, natch.

Second day we fled in the opposite direction to Morro Bay, a smaller community with a nice state beach next to Morro Rock, a 581-foot "volcanic plug ."  This is a great time of year to travel the California coast, just before the tourist season begins.  We spent hours on the beach with few sharing it.  Listening to the foghorns [on a bright sunlit day?!], the waves crashing, the smell of salt air, seagulls screaming overhead.  The best.
