Montana de Oro State Park – Morro Bay - 25km
Following a long chat with a fellow biker, we packed up and returned
to Morro Bay. I was desperate for a shower and booked into a Motel 6
to do internet and laundry. So comfortable was it, that staying an
additional day came naturally. I thought of having a haircut, but the
salons were closed on Mondays, and nothing came of that.
Morro Bay – San Simeon State Park - 35km
It was time to move along and find another state park. In the
process, we cycled past Nit Wit Ridge in Cambria. Nit Wit Ridge is
built entirely of items collected over fifty years. The builder was the
eccentric Cambria garbage collector and junk hauler Arthur Harold
Beal.
It appeared it never became hot along that stretch of coast. Even
though the days were sunny, fog moved in from the ocean, making
for nippy evenings.
The San Simeon State Park was home for two nights before moving
to a Motel 6 in San Simeon to collect the cards. Unfortunately, it
wasn’t long before I learned my assumption that the cards would
arrive on time was clearly incorrect, as nothing arrived, and we
retreated to the campsite.
A further two nights were spent camping and, by Monday, we
returned to the Motel, but the cards still weren’t there.
