Pfieffer Big Sur State Park, California
Went into Big Sur. It's a Redwoods area not a beach area. You have to hike to the beach. Other beaches you just drive to. They're much more open here. They're not all fenced in and there aren't that many beach communities. They're usually between points of rock that stick several hundred feet out into the ocean. No one goes swimming though. You just lie on the beach in the sand.
There are kelp beds several hundred feet off shore. They're worse than the seaweed at home. They kill the small swells that the Pacific Ocean is made of. They have no real waves or breakers rather, like we have at home. So far Jones Beach is better than any other I've seen except for the beaches near Seattle.
Signed up for three days. Could only sleep there for 2 nights. Calif. St. Parks have a crazy system in that respect. You pay for the day you leave.
I ate breakfast at the camp lodge store. Then, when the previous campers had left, I went and set up my camp.
Afterwards I went to Monterey to sight see. It used to be the Mexican capitol of California. However it wasn't worth going there.
I stopped at some beaches on the way there. Still the waves are small and no one goes in the water. You have to park along the side of the road to get to them. Some you have to climb down ravines. That kind is the most beautiful and isolated. They're nice to look at and to go to if you have all day and like sitting on the sand at a beach.
I had for some reason stopped picking hitch hikers up and was antagonistic towards them. Strange. Jealousy, I think. (That is really the way to travel and see the country. It's not always dependable though. And it takes time.)
I seem to be getting better and worse at the guitar. I may possibly finish this practice book by the time I get back.
