San Luis Obispo – Morro Bay - 35km
Packing up was at leisure to pedal the short distance to the
Californian Coast and Morro Bay, a lovely spot where camping was at
the Morro Bay State Park and where we experienced our first
hike&bike. If hiking or travelling by bike, one could camp at these
parks at $5 per person, a considerable bargain.
Seeing the bank was asked to send the bank cards to The Motel 6 in
San Simeon, we operated in low gear as San Simeon was a short
distance away. The card was said to take seven working days. Still, it
was nearing Easter Weekend, and I imagined it could take
substantially longer. Thus, we stayed in Morro Bay for an extra day.
The Bay’s most prominent landmark is Morro Rock. The spectacular
rock at the entrance to Morro Bay is a 23-million-year-old volcanic
plug. Nevertheless, I found it even more captivating that Morro Rock
forms part of what is known as The Nine Sisters. The Nine Sisters are
extinct volcano peaks that run in an approximately twelve-mile line,
stretching from Morro Bay to San Luis Obispo.
