We finally made it to the ocean. Today was our first full day at Morro Dunes RV park. For some reason, we got up very early (6am). Since it was freezing and extremely windy, we thought it made sense to spend the morning checking out a nearby Forest Service Campground. That was a bust. No way we'd fit there. Darn.
After getting home, Missy and I decided to ride our bikes over to check out the eponymous Morro Bay. I got excited last night after reading online that kayaking the bay might be something we could do. It was possibly the best bike ride ever in
existence. In the bay we saw: GBHs, playful otters (including babies!), a seal, diving pelicans, and marmots. We watched a couple of SUPers paddle out, getting within feet of the playful otters! I can't wait to try that kayaking! Then the SUPers tried surfing the waves. If the weather was warmer, and if we knew how to ocean surf...
Following are some pictures from our awesome day:

| Couldn't resist snapping a picture of this woman's ridiculous shoes. I pretended I was taking a picture of the bay behind her. (Reminded me of MMG taking that picture of beehive lady in Buena Vista) |

| Love this sign! |

| Harbor Seal. Too see it, you'll have to peer beneath the water. |

| Biking to Morro Rock |

| Not the best picture of sea otters, but at least it proves we saw them! |
 |
| See the otters in the top of the picture? So neat to have such a close marine wildlife experience! |
Any cliff diving off of Morro Rock? Also, have you identified the eponymous creek and eponymous city as well as the eponymous bay?
ReplyDeleteIt's illegal to climb the rock. Will you bail us out and pay the fine if we do it? BECAUSE WE WILL!
