We are camped at San Simeon
State Park, near Hearst Castle. My
darling husband managed to get me sea views (at a distance) and mountain views
for my birthday.
Sea view
Mountain view.
We spent the last two days
exploring the southern two thirds of Highway One. We started by stopping at the Elephant Seals
Viewing area, where hundreds of elephant seals give birth and live for part of
their lives. Since this is the season
seal pups are growing and beginning to learn to swim, there were lots of seals.
The rest of the trip was
just one terrific vista after another.
I’ll let the pictures tell the story.
Lunch time view. Had the best tuna salad ever.
Rock slide tunnel
Birds at Willow Beach.
Sandy beach.
And the last shot is the
zebra at Hearst Ranch. William Randolph
Hearst had a private zoo. Most of the
animals ended up in other California zoos, but zebras and a breed of goat still
exist on the ranch. The zebra graze with
the cattle and one of the guides said they think they are cattle. This group was grazing within a mile of our
campsite.
It’s beautiful drive. If you ever get the chance to take it, do.
