MORE MORRO BAY





We've been exploring the area and trying to find trails to hike but it's really hard here. It's not that there aren't trails to hike. There are lots. The problem is dogs are not allowed on most of them. We went down to Montana de Oro but that park didn't have a single trail a dog could use.

We found this place called the Pygmy Forest which did allow dogs and was kind of cool. The pygmy thing was about the oaks. They were little bitty things. There was also a pack of coyotes yipping around but we never actually saw them.

Another place we found was Black Hill. It's over by Morro Park and if you park down the hill it's a good walk up to the top. From here there is an incredible view of Morro Rock and the harbor. It was too hazy for any good pictures but it was still a cool view.

After Black Hill we went back to the harbor for the sunset. It was a fairly nice one. We also talked to a guy who was fishing from the pier for perch. He caught one while we watched. It was a very nice fish but he threw it back cuz he said he wouldn't eat anything that came out of the bay. Now that's just plain spooky. I don't think I want any sushi from around here!

Mom, as usual, took photos of murals on the walls around the harbor. Some nice ones too. It's interesting, all up and down the coast it's been the harbors that have had the neatest murals.
