Saying goodbye to a piece of California’s Gold June 22, 2008

One of my favorite spots in SLO County is Montana de Oro. When I first arrived in California four and half years ago, this was one of the first places I visited. I remember being in such awe. I’d never seen anything like it before. Since then, this spot has grown to be more than just an amazing view to me-it’s been a necessary refuge.
On Thursday afternoon, Noa and I decided to go camping one last time together and enjoy the beauty of this landmark. It was STEAMING hot in SLO – we’re talking triple digits folks – so arriving at MDO was a great relief. What made it more great was the incredible sunset we witnessed. Normally, the heavy clouds block the view, but his time the heat had burned it all off. We felt lucky.

Yes, that’s my foot. See Noa fishing on the far left?
We tempted the gopher with a strawberry. He was so excited, but couldn’t see very well to find it.
He eventually got it though!

Oh honey! I feel your sorrow about leaving the beauty of this place! Montana De Oro is one of my favorite places on earth! The smell of the ocean water and the sound of the roaring waves…
Those pictures are beautiful! It looks like you were able to have some happy times with Noa before parting ways!
