Moonstone Beach Day 3

Between San Simeon and Morro Bay, is a town called Cambria. It's an awesome little artist colony with great restaurants and shops. We avoided the little downtown area and went to their beach. It's called Moonstone.  Moonstone Beach is at the bottom of a pine forest that leads to a rugged shoreline. There are several small motels across the street from the ocean. It's a stunning place...

Okay, enough of the stunning shoreline, let's get to the things I like.

I saw a 1953 Chevrolet rally car.  The wording on the car said "Carrera Panamericana." Google told me that it's a 2000 mile road race in Mexico. I have no idea what the car was doing here, but it was kinda cool.

I saw a very odd looking man body boarding (enlarge please)

I'm sure many of us have done some body boarding at some time in our lives. I've done it and I've seen a lot of other people do it, but I've never seen a TROLL do it.  You've must enlarge these two photos to check this guy out.  I don't mean to be mean...but wow!

We just left Moonstone and are about to turn right onto Pacific Coast Highway. What pulls up next to us but a 1919 Harley Davidson! The really odd thing is that my bro-in-law Don (smile Don) had a T-shirt on the day before, with a silkscreen of that exact year Harley on the back of it! Don is a motorcycle guy.   Then i saw the string of hot rods pulling up to the light in the background and I was really happy. (more for the hot rods than the bike)

Look at the Harley's headlight

We turned right onto PCH and in about 20 minutes we could see Morro Rock.  Our last night in town was spent going out to dinner and then finishing off our alcohol.  It was a great trip.  Once again I'm reminded that I enjoy small road trips every bit as much as organized and long distance vacations.   

I'm also reminded of how fortunate I am to live directly on one of the most beautiful coastlines in the world.  I thank my lucky stars for that...
