Hwy 1 is always spectacular and breathtaking. At Morro Bay, we camped in the same campground as our very first night of the trip in July, when we met Stacey. We liked climbing the rocks in the playground and the small botanical garden near by After 2 relaxing days we continued on hwy 1 until we saw this: Hundreds of elephant seals lying on the beach! As we got closer we could see (and smell) the moms and babies. They keep covering themselves with sand to protect from the sun. They're very noisy - they scream, burp, snarl and sneeze while sand is blowing out of their mouth. The elephant seals come here every year to have their babies and mate. They will leave in March and come back next January. The males (bulls) have a funny snout They fight among themselves on territory. They fight so hard that they bleed and have many scars on their necks.

Looks like you miss some states on the "we are here.....map"!! Why don't you just continue the trip? The next round will be much smaller you know :-)
We keep saying that too!
Beautiful pictures, brings back good memories!
Enjoy your last kilometers......
