Really nice. I agree with Ken about the first one, but then again, I am always drawn to seeing doggies having fun in the surf!
Thanks

I took a long walk on that very beach this afternoon around low tide. Could not have been a prettier day.

Thanks for the nice comments. I like the flying egret too. Just lucky and I had to crop it to get the feet of the one in front out of the picture,
lol. You would never know by the pics but it's our coldest Dec. since 1971. I think it's also one of the most beautiful in a long time. Just the
right mix of clouds/rain/sun. This weekends forecast is 68/38. A perfect Christmas weekend at the beach, IMO.

From 1958, the lagoons had just been dredged. Looking North toward City of Pismo from the State Park housing.
Sea Scouts! Anything nautical for the boy.

Where did you stay? I stayed at a hotel there once, and it was a bit pricey.

vgabndo ~ Nice photo. thanks!!
desertcpl ~ Your right, it's amazing chowder. I think the whipping cream is the secret. Good Ahi sandwiches too.
Packoderm ~ I'm fortunate enough to live right next to Pismo in Grover Beach. It's not cheap to stay in a hotel here. If you don't need ocean front
there are a few for $60 to $90 but you would have to drive downtown. There is a lot to do in here SLO county. Pismo is the touristy area but there a
tons of other cool things to do and see.

We'll be at Half Moon Bay camping for a few nights after Xmas. It's closer to us than Pismo. We won't have the same weather you're having, but it
should be okay. Our break schedules do not allow us to go to Baja this year.

Funny, we moved from Pismo to Half Moon Bay in 1958. Much closer to the ocean at HMB. On the bluff just south of Albert's Mira Mar Hotel. The joint
was a notorious speak easy with it's own bootlegging pier! Small world.

You can still get a license and go clamming but you won't get too many. They are pretty much wiped out here. I hardly ever see anyone clamming.

Pismo Beach
One of the very few California beaches where a motorhome can access overnight camping.
A real plus: The rangers hand out phone numbers for licensed tow trucks. 
On clamming, we were northbound and started looking around Dana Point.....
.....and found them here:
3 weeks later...at Clam Beach, Alaska

Pompano...funny about the tow trucks. They were REALLY expensive in the 50's, and long before I had a driver's license I had studied and been taught
at the University of stuck on Pismo. I made some pretty nice tips for getting tourist's cars unstuck with that know-how!

vgabndo.. not sure why you think I would ever have to take advantage of a tow truck on Pismo Beach...which was a piece of cake...or maybe I mistook
your meaning? I posted that as information to novices. who might indeed need it.
I have no reservations about operating machinery. Imagine some chest thumping here: I was driver weaned in the REAL boondocks..and since age 8,
when I rolled 250 bushels of MY hard-earned prize flax.... never had to call on any help to get out on any stuck situation.
My farm-related driver's license in ND was issued in 1951 at age 8 1/2.....back then that extra 1/2 year was very important, believe me! Cuz every
other kid in our neck of Badlands, ND was an old hand at 9.
But I can suppose you had your reasons...
