Day 9: Headin home

Last shot before the battery died, lookin like a badass
More amazing coastline
McWay Falls

Got up and out of camp by around 8 am. Went to Julia Pfeiffer Burns SP and checked out McWay Waterfall – an 80 foot utopian waterfall into a cove on a beach with the blue-est/greenest water we’ve seen. Incredible. It takes 5 minutes to hike out to the waterfall. No access to the beach the water falls onto, in order to keep it pristine, which is pretty awesome. There are two camp spots near the top of the falls, that are free, but you have to reserve it a year in advance we heard. We drove south stopping here and there, and then stopped to eat at Whale Watcher’s Café- it was eh. We stopped just north of Morro Bay and saw elephant seals- ginourmous seals that make the craziest noise-sounds like a diesel boat. The camera had finally died, so no pics of them. Then we stopped in Morro Bay and walked around for a while. It seemed like a pretty cool town, but a bit touristy also. The coast was definitely the coolest to the north of Morro Bay. Once south it was still cool, but just not as cool as it had been on the coast north of Morro, and up the coast. Stopped at a food co-op in Santa Barbara to get some food, and ate on a beach there and hung for a bit. Then we went ahead and made the drive home. It was a pretty insane, new, unique, exploratory vacation for both of us. Can’t wait to do it again somewhere else!
