San Elijo State Park, Cardiff-by-the-Sea, California. The original plan had been to spend Fri/Sat birding at Salton Sea, but stiff north winds blowing dust and sand turned that into a nightmare. So, we ditched that idea. I called San Elijo, never really dreaming that we could get an ocean site for the night, with hookups, but - by gollies - they had spaces available! Talk about turning a lemon into lemonade!
We hiked miles along the strand into that same chilly north wind; the tide was out, and we explored tide pools. Watched the busy water birds. Listened to the waves... admired the hearty, wetsuit-clad surfers riding the waves. Walked and walked. Loved it.
Beautiful sunset. That night we snuggled under the covers (tho we could've used another blanket), lured to sleep by the pounding waves.
Sat morning we enjoyed a walk on the bluff, before piling out to spend the week with number one son, Matt Jones, in Los Angeles!!
