Pro-tip: There are a ton of State Parks along the way so save your pass because the first will cover all. After filling up with $5.18/gallon gas (!!) my first stop was Point Lobos Natural Reserve. It took my breath away and I didn’t realize I had 8 more hours of it.
People get on my nerves at tourist stops and Bixby Bridge was filled with idiots so I continued down the road a bit and captured it from the other side.
Andrew Molera State Park was a nice walk to the beach with a river crossing without shoes.
Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park was my first glimpse of Redwoods. This is the most south they grow, and therefore smallest. I can’t wait to drive north at some point to see the giants.
I stopped for lunch at Nepenthe, which had a lovely view.
I couldn’t miss Moonstone Beach with lovely colored rocks. These pictures don’t do it justice.
I was losing the sun but caught the sunset at Pismo Beach.
Wow! What a day. Just…beautiful.

I am staying at an Airbnb in Orcutt, just outside of Santa Maria. I will sleep well tonight. I can’t believe I live in this state.
