    Those purple flowers around the 37 minute mark were Ice Plant. Also, while in the area, San Simion and Hearst Castle are worth a visit.

    Since you're this close, you should go on up to Hearst Castle. Since you would be in that area, go to San Simeon and check out the elephant seals on the beach. It's amazing how large the beach masters can get.

    Thanks Russ for showing me home I miss the ocean, always will. Funny how our perception of temperature changes as we age. When I was younger the ocean never seemed to be cold but now at 75 there is No more running and diving in. Thanks again.

    Just the other day my husband said he'd like to go back to Morro Bay. We both grew up in the San Juaquin Valley but have lived in Hawaii for the past 26 years. We spent many weekends at Morro Bay in our 5th wheel. Lots of good memories. Much Aloha. ❤

    While in Morro Bay, you may want to visit Morro Bay State Park (there's a nice boardwalk that goes along the harbor and the wetlands). There's also Montaña de Oro State Park - parking is free and the trails are very easy and scenic. Just be aware that the road through the park is a bit narrow and has a few tight turns.

    Orange Grove RV Park is always our one night pit stop on the way to Death Valley or Arizona. We like to wake up fresh before we hit Tehachapi. Our whole neighborhood always orders oranges when we go there on the way home because they are so sweet. I harvest an entire bucket when I am there LOL

    I love it there! I lived in SLO and Pismo, Grover and Oceano beaches. And lived in Morrow for a bit with my 5th wheel. Morrow Bay is one of my faves to be now. There is a camp ground up the road that takes you into Paso Robles that I love! It's really cool. It's a little bit inland. But not enough to not get the ocean breezes. If you can't get on the beach camp ground and people do not want to be far from the beach it is really nice. Huge camp sites that are each pretty private. Great for families or a group. It's nice to go check it out. I have to remember which road. I believe it's the 41.

  • @gbmarie836

    Glad to see you in Morro Bay. My home away from home in the Central Valley. We stay right there at the RV Park at the Dunes several times a year. I love it there. That creek raged an overflow about a month ago from all our rain and flooded a lot of that area. A lot of debris from the flood is still there and it changed the topography somewhat right in that sand dune area.

    Oh and also a beautiful rv park that's just outside of the town. You turn where it takes you to Los Osos. It's really reasonable. It's not fancy but quiet and has all you need. It's got pretty views into a bright green little meadow woodland spot. Full of wildlife. And it's right below the 3 sister cluster of ancient volcanos. You feel like it's Ireland or something with all the green and big rocks. It's right off Hwy 1. Coming in from San Luis Obispo.

    I grew up here. My grandparents owned the only theater for a bit. My older sister and I lived above with our Dad. We had a perfect view of the Rock. The HS is next to the beach. We used to run on the beach instead of the track. My family first came to the area in 1769.

    You're about 2 weeks late for the peak bloom. It lasted from the beginning of April until about the 20th. If you ever get the chance to visit during after another wet winter, visit again in early April and set your GPS to take you to Soda Lake. There's a boardwalk and in wet years like this one the lake is full, isolated, and incredibly beautiful. And there's a chance you'll see antelope, roadrunners, and elk. The big flat area where Soda Lake is, is called the Carrizo Plain. There's also a llama farm and a buffalo farm along Hwy 58 in that isolated area between the Carrizo Plain and the coast.

    I live in Arkansas. I've been watching your channel for awhile now. I lived in Tulare, CA for a year, loved it! My favorite place to go is Pismo Beach. I stayed several times at the Sea Gypsy Motel, you can walk right out the back door onto the beach. The rooms have balconies. A very romantic place to stay! This video is a great reminder, makes me want to go back now. I was in California a few years ago on vacation during the last super bloom. Loved seeing the poppies. Thanks for the ride along!

    On the first Cailfornia video, the Orange Grove RV park, I would like to visit there twice a year if I lived closer. When it blooms and when they have the harvest. This video has an amazing drive through the hills to see the superbloom especially your drone footage. The cherry on top was to see the Pacific ocean. TY Russ safe travels.

    @jimp.7286 Год назад +2

    The spring bloom here on the central coast has been happening in a kind of slow motion this year. The blue/violet colored miniature lupine are now happening in huge quantities. Before that, various coastal chaparral blooming more than I've ever seen it. Color everywhere. Out hiking in them everyday with the dog and it's been interesting to see it play out over such a slow moving event. Also, something called "vernal ponds". They went dry for years during the drought and finally saw them come back this year complete with ducks swimming in them. And with all the water, lots and lots of ticks. Our poor Labrador knows the word, "tick" and hates it. You can't even spell it. She knows! That's because plucking them off hurts sometimes when you miss and get a bit of fur too. Go walking in the wild flowers then check your pants for creepy crawlers, lol. Anyway great vid. Never been up 58 so it was nice to see this video. Sure is pretty over there. PS; get "PICTURE THIS" app to identify wildlife. Cheers. 👍

    Hi there. I'm really enjoying your trip to Morro Bay, and I'm following allowing along using my 2023 Rand McNally Road Atlas. It's a lot of fun. The last time I was at MB was in 1982 or 83. I wish though I can go in person, but I'm a caregiver to a family member who is bedridden. It's basically a 24/7 job. So, in a sense, this is my getaway. Thank you and God bless. Michelle of Los Angeles.It's a lot of fun.

    Thx for mentioning this RV Park Russ! We only live a few hrs away from Moro Bay, in Gilroy, and never were able to make reservations for any of the beach RV Parks or the Moro Bay State Park RV campground - everything always sold out even as soon as February for a 1 week spot in July. We only did day trips so far and stayed in a different area on the way home. It is frustrating. I will try the RV Park you mention, next time we plan to go (usually summer vacation as we have a high schooler granddaughter with us). Do you think a class C Leprechaun would fit there? Back-in is fine. We tow a Jeep with us but that can be unhooked before we back into a space (did that at Crater Lake and other campgrounds no problem). We will definitely check it out. I love that area and always wanted to explore it for several days.,

    We used to live in that area. MB is one of our favorite spots. Best time to visit is in the fall because it's usually clear sky and no fog. Carrisa Plains on Hwy 58 is known for its wildflower blooms in spring. There's a real pretty drive out of Cayucos called Old Creek Road. It takes you to Hwy 46 which takes you either to Paso Robles or back to Highway 1. If you go back to Hwy 1, you get some great views of the ocean from up high on the hills. Also, that's where Hearst's Castle is--but it's pricey. The town of Cambria on Highway 1 is also interesting.

    Up here in Northern California, just North if the Napa Valley, we normally see our wildflowers bloom in February....and don’t blink or you’ll miss it! BUT ...this year, the bloom is just starting, and to the rain keeps coming thru! Last week we had a single day 90 degree high that followed a series of storms and the previous dail high had only reached mid 60s! Whiplash weather is toying with humans and nature’s own mass confusion! On a single day last week the 90 degree temp prompted the RV air conditioning to get turned on ....yet that night, it dipped into the upper 30s and the heater needed a run! I was hoping for some spring like weather in the upper 60s to low 70s.....never managed those since we jumped from the 50s to the 90s in 2 days! The deer are heavily pregnant, ready for those little spotted fawns to meet the world, but they are so confused with this weather, even the older does are staring at the clouds floating by, and hearing distant thunder moving closer....as the earth keeps quaking under us all!😮😊

Thanks for the drive on 58 with the spectacular bloomage!!
