We spent three nights at wonderful Ocean Mesa Campground just next to El Capitan Canyon. El Capitan offers cabins and safari tents you can rent and has a small store and restaurant. It is a wonderful place with a creek and trees right across from the ocean. They opened the Ocean Mesa campground right next store a few years ago. It is a first class campground with pool and hot tub, great showers and beautiful views of the ocean.
We rode our bikes to the state parks around here, El Capitan and El Refugio. The ride to El Refugio was very hilly. On the way back we tried to take a shortcut along the beach but the road had been washed out and we had to turn around and ride the hills back. We did see a stretch of beach that had about 300 pelicans on it. I tried to take a picture but the sun was in the wrong place. Look close at the pictures and you can see what looks to be a bunch of rocks that is really many pelicans.
Yesterday we had almost the whole campground to ourselves. Only one other person was camped here. They left later and we had the whole place. It was like having our own private pool and hot tub.
Also check out the picture of Jimmy up in the tree picking avocados. They manager here said to help ourselves. I was a bit worried he might fall out.
Not sure where we are headed tomorrow. We will be sad to leave but a few more people have checked in it being Friday.
Hugs to all

Ah yes... I remember back in the college days, three of us bought a little speed boat for $75 each so we could get up to the isolated surfing grounds off Hollister Ranch. We launched from the pier at Gaviota, just north of El Refugio. Unfortunately, the outboard could only turn right, so we circled around and around 'till we got her back to the pier. Surfing had to wait for another day.
