  Making our way up the Pacific coast.  We camped one night at San Simeon, where a raccoon climbed on top of my car the minute I went inside to sleep.  In the morning I was amazed to see grassy farmland behind and the ocean below rolling in.  We were camped next to the Hearst Castle, which has mountains that slope gently into the Pacific, and we saw about 50 horses, and heard that they kept zebras there.  
    On the drive North, we stopped for a view of the ocean, and the next stop was to see elephant seals, which were big lazy looking critters that threw sand on their back to keep cool.  After a drive down a mountain we stopped at a view where we saw whales spouting water.  I skated a few hills, and made it safely to Big Sur, where the redwoods are.
  Next, more camping, and playing my guitar, and fending of spoiled campsite coons.  Merely missed mash, mo mo.
