We drove thru Los Angeles today at mid morning but we couldn't tell it by the traffic. At least twice we had to slow to almost a dead stop due to a busy interchange but we made it thru and got to Morro Bay which is north of Santa Barbara and near San Louis Obispo. We are camped at a State Park right outside of town. The ranger that checked us in has zero personality and we were almost ready to move on because of that. But we found the Chamber of Commerce and Sharon was an enthusiastic ambassador for the area. She had information for hiking and biking and dining that we have found to be right on the button.
The weather has been rather cool. It was supposed to have gotten up to 65 today but it didn't make it much past 60 which wasn't too bad with the sun shining and the wind calm. We rode our bikes up the huge Black Hill thru the state park golf course -- not bad but a bit on the pricey side. We then toured the town, riding up and down several side streets as well as the tourist district. Sharon from the Chamber said that riding bikes on the sand was lots of fun, so after watching the surfers, we took off for about a 3 mile ride down the beach. She was right, it was almost like riding on soft concrete. On the way back to town, we found a nice bike path after riding along the freeway for a short distance.
Lunch was at the local fish market with an Italian name - Giovanni's. I had a really good soft shell blue crab sandwich and John stuffed himself with a fried seafood combo plate. We walked the tourist district before heading back to the RV. It was a total of 15 miles on the bikes.
