May 14.....Our last day in this area and we woke up early...grabbed some coffee and my swimsuit and headed to Morrow Bay to find the sealions. We took a different way this time through farms and ranches and beautiful rolling hills with horses and cows. What a gorgeous place. We dropped down to the bay and found the visitor center. The lady that helped me lived in Eagle River for 3 years. She directed us to the Tilling Charger. We got a tour of the bay and found the sealions. Apparently, the adult males were as far down south as LA defending their territory and the females we out having their babies. The otters were in a group of maybe 10 floating too. They have twit babies in the water. The Corp blew up 1/3 of the rock to build a road. Nobody is allowed to climb the rock. The native Indians are allowed up 2x a year to bury their dead. A certain bird nests up there. We found out so much. We finished up and headed to the car stopping at a few stores.....I met a really nice shop owner and she shared her story as to how she happened to be in Morrow Bay. We left the bay and followed the coast. We landed in Montana De Pro where the lighthouse was built for the movie "Pete's Dragon ". I collected lots of rocks and walked in the ocean. The drive was so cool. Trees hung over the road. We saw something that resembled a turkey. We drove back to Avila beach and I layer on the beach and watched a couple dozen different dogs playing with their owners and each other. I got a nice little sunburn. YAY.......we finished the day with Les Lenise and Lakoda at a restaurant at the end of the pier. I had seafood fettucini. The tables were glass bottom so we could see if any critters were below us. The moon was full and the evening was great. It's been a wonderful visit here and I will come back.
