Morro Bay Campout / Cayucos Sea Glass Festival
Greetings Fellow Great Outdoors Members!
Its time to visit the beautiful central coast of California again! This time we'll be visiting a special central coast event, the Cayucos Sea Glass Festival! So if you enjoy shiny beautiful things, if you're a crafty creative person, or if you just like to window shop, come on out and join us for the weekend!
In addition to the Festival, we're also going to be in the area of some of the best curio and antique shopping territory around!
Between Morro Bay, Cayucos, Cambria, Los Osos, Baywood Park, and San Simeon, you'll have your choice of some of the best antiquing around, as well as the some of the prettiest views while you're doing your window shopping!
We'll be camping at a favorite site for our chapter, Morro Bay State Park, along the beautiful Morro Bay Estuary. This will be a mixed trip of dry-camping RVs and tent campers, so register ASAP to get your space reserved! The amenities at the park include fire rings, picnic tables, and running water bathrooms, including pay hot water showers!
This trip is a four day one, but folks may arrive on Friday as well as Thursday, if one must for work reasons. As on every trip, parking is limited, so carpool if at all possible!
For any who haven't camped with me before, know that my trips have a fairly soft schedule, nothing is chiseled in stone! The biggest goal is for everyone to have a good time, make some new friends, and enjoy the trip! So come along, enjoy the Festival, explore the area, and enjoy!
