It had been a while since I had been to Oceano and its sand dunes, and I also wanted to see Field of Lights at Paso Robles, as well as Solvang, the Danish town, a bit more south, so it was a good excuse for an extended weekend flight.
Pao to Oceano
Moffett hangar is being re-skinned
the quary in the hills is definitely making big holes
Santa Cruz
can go for house shopping
hopefully erosion is not a problem :)
whale watching boat going out
Hwy 1 is cool
Was able to fly around Hearst Castle:
Then on the way to Oceano:
had not seen diablo nuclear power plant before, cool sight with cooling pool above and hole in the hill for storage
Oceano ATVs
san dunes to play on
Oceano to Paso Robles
San Luis Obispo
Paso Robles
Paso Robles to Santa Ynes/Solvang
Departure from Paso Robles was delayed until the cloud cover lifted, beautiful flight with a small detour by Carrizo Plains for wildflowers
