I did NOT want to leave the coast today. I could have stayed there for another week.
After I checked out of my AirBnb, I did a little geocaching in El Granada before meeting up with some friends who were driving up the coast from Santa Cruz.
FOUND IT
Look at the one on the left! It wasn’t the actual cache, it’s just a doll was guarding a coffin-like cache that was below it.
Then I met my friends for lunch in Half Moon Bay. They decided to follow me to my final cache destination in Montara, just north of HMB.
FOUND IT
It’s a piece of wood with a hole in it, where the cache is stashed – very clever!
Can I just say that I love Montara? I mean, yeah, they got a cool beach and all, but they have trees for days and it’s nice and shady and I am definitely going back. Too bad they don’t have a restaurant that’s open past 4pm, but the locals probably like it that way.
My friends headed back to SF and I headed to Pacifica to catch the sunset. I was not about to drive back to Oakland when the sun was still up. When I got home my apartment was like a sauna. I kicked on my portable a/c (that works much better at night) and I have a swamp cooler blowing on me as well.
I started blogging daily in mid-March 2020 to document what it was like to live through a pandemic. I said I would stop as soon as I was performing live on a stage in front of an audience without masks. That has now come to pass, and I will be winding down the daily blogging. But I will still continue to write topical stories on here like I used to do. Just not every night.
It’s been real. Thanks to the few regulars who read my blog almost every night. You know who you are. I mainly wrote this blog for me so I could look back and remember history, but I appreciate the readers as well. Good night.
