Monterey Bay

Wine Country RV Resort, Paso Robles, to Moss Landing KOA, Moss Landing, Monterey Bay, CA:  Left Paso Robles this morning at about 11:15.  Took the 101 north—basically backtracking the route we took back from Big Sur.  A non-descript drive out of the hills and into a wide valley planted with all kinds of crops.  Got to Moss Landing and were set up by 2:30.  Moss Landing is a little harbor where all the commercial fishing boats are moored.  The little town is about three blocks long with little shops and restaurants.  Around 5:00 we drove around exploring a little. Drove down Jetty Road where in one of the little bays is a colony of seals and the little bay next to it has a colony of sea otters.  Had a great time watching them.  It’s cold here.  Low 60s, cloudy, and windy.  We quickly changed out of our shorts and tees and donned jeans and sweatshirts.  Had dinner at Haute Café—a little Mexican restaurant.  A very different Mexican restaurant.  Came back and got the little heater out.  Looks like we can put away our shorts and tees for a while (sigh).

One of the seals--there must have been 30 or so.

There must have been 50 sea otters in this little bay.

This boat has seen better days.
