A SLO-ish Fourth
Over the long weekend, Deb and I took a trip south to Cambria,
to meet with nephew Ben, his mother Mary and her partner Marty.
Nice time staying at the
Cambria Pines Lodge.
Nice pool, exceptional gardens, decent rooms.
It's quite close to town (maybe a third of a mile?), but the
steps down to town are mighty steep. I walked down them, but
didn't walk up.
The overcast, cool weather was a welcome contrast to the
too-hot weather we often get on the 4th.
Had a barbecue on Sunday: shrimp skewers, and some wonderful
pasta salad that Deb had made. We did that at
Leffingwell
Landing,
at the north end of Moonstone Beach Road, and the
very stiff breeze kept blowing out the flames.
On the fourth, we headed east on
Santa
Rosa Creek Road, a very small, twisty, and sometimes
very steep road that passes through some beautiful, open,
classic California grass-and-oak canyon land for 20 or so
miles, before rejoining the main highway (46) back toward
Paso Robles.
On the return trip, I ran into no traffic whatsoever.
