Sambur's 60th Soirée II

Sambur's 60th Soirée II

If you have already RSVP'ed me, thanks! If not, please continue reading.

Please consider this a personal invite.

It would be nice to see some of my old acquaintances. Maybe get the chance to break some bread, imbibe in a drink or two and tell a few yarns. 

And yes, the Bronco game will be on the big screen at the Tap & Handle too. I'll bet you are capable of drinking and watching the game at the same time. Maybe even speaking between plays. 

So...here's the Admit One invite once again. Print it out or scrawl a facsimile. If we gather enough revelers, it's a private party! 

Help a fella out! Renting a bar is on my bucket list! 

Hope to see you all on Sunday, October 19th.

Cheers!

Jeff

Montana de Oro State Park, California...

Might be smallish in size but it's large on views. Sporting a whole seven miles of rugged California coastline, it would be a developer's dreamland. 

Too bad for those greedy speculators. The state beat them to the table by purchasing the property in 1965. Score one for the masses.

This landlubber got his seaside fix by strolling along those beaches, bluffs and one 1,000' summit. All this with a less than energetic body and mindset. (It might have been that extra 8.5% IPA I drank last night.) 

I even went for a "Sambur swim." I dipped my toe in the Pacific Ocean. Why would anyone do a full-on immersion? There's fish and other creatures doing their bodily functions in that watery mix!

Good night from Moro Bay, California.

Southern-most Redwoods, Pacific Ocean and...

and bathing beauties.

Another species of big trees demanded equal hugs, so I drove to Big Sur.

Here lies the most distant southern outpost of the Coastal Redwoods. 95% of the original old growth Redwoods are a thing of the past seen only in photos. That outside deck/patio you are walking upon might be made of Redwood. The wood is tough, attractive and very resistant to wear and tear. 

I'm glad these specimens avoided the chopping block.

Here's a photo of a baby Redwood. Even the Mighty start out small. I am patiently waiting for my growth spurt.

Here's a gang of Elephant Seals after a long bender. That must have been some party. 

I hope they applied enough sunscreen.

I've run out of western movement. Barley can't swim. It'll be time to turn south and east soon.

Cheers!
