Adventure: 215, Park 03-Big Sur Lighthouse

Team: YOLT
Date: September 28, 2013
Location: Big Sur

Description:
What a beautiful day! Sun shining, the ocean shimmering and the greens of Point Sur calling us. What a beautiful day! Evidently more than just us thought so also as the gate was closed and the tour was full. Oh well. At least we came and were able to research some of the history of this beautiful place in Adventure 3, Site 086.

Adventure 215, Park 02-Pt Lobos State Natural Reserve

Capture California, the Game-2013
Adventure: 215, Park 02-Pt Lobos State Natural Reserve

Team: YOLT
Date: September 28, 2013
Location: Pt Lobos State Natural Reserve

Description:
While we have not had enough experience to back up this claim, Francis McComas, landscape artist, says that Pt Lobos is the The greatest meeting of land and water in the world.
Last year we visited this park and fell in love with it. The love affiar started with us seeing whales for the first time. But then was enlarged with seeing the moss covered trees, the ragged rocks and the waves crashing against the cliffs.

This year we enjoyed walking under a bright sun, seeing both mammal, bird, and adquatic life. Even scored a few Capture California points:

• Walked a few trails-Adventure 005, Hike 058
  
• Watched for a whale-Adventure 037
  
• Enjoyed a picnic, watching the ocean-Adventure 133 and 053

Location: 320 2^nd Street, Woodland

Description:

We came to the Woodland Opera House to see its historic nature. But we also saw that it was a State Historic Park. Score! (By the way, we saw that this is a State Park without any rangers. What kind of place is that?)
