I took the week of Veteran's Day off and decided it was time to head up to Big Sur again but via a different route. I also wanted to drive the last remaining stretch of PCH-1 between Lompoc and Guadalupe that I've never been on and has for some reason eluded me all these years.
I loaded up the camper and the dog and I set out on Sunday afternoon for a short jaunt up to Jalama just to get on the road. I wound up running into some friends from my neck of the woods who were also camping there in their Tacoma/Eagle set up, it was kind of cool running into them and sharing a few brews by the fire.
The next day I left Jalama and Lompoc, and went into Casmalia (another place I'd never been to) to try and make it out to Point Sal. No joy on the road out from Casmalia, found another road which leads to a hiking trail but didn't have the time to invest in 12mile R/T hike out there. Another time, another trip I guess.
After that I drove out to the Guadalupe Dunes just for grins, saw this guy with a broom and dustpan and kinda felt sorry for him but then reckoned in this economy at least he had some serious job security...
