Back to California Gallery Page <—————->Next to Day 10
Our second day at Morro Bay. We decided to head North again to see places we had missed on the way down the day before. The coast is quite rugged and wild. We did see another Condor soaring over the sea. The Piedros Blancas light station was closed for visitors, but the nearby Elephant Seal Rookery was worth a visit. We also went to the Hearst Ranch Winery and Pier at San Simeon, before heading back to our Hotel at Morro Bay for the night.
