49.29 and 49.30 Whiting Ranch Preserve, Irvine and Pismo Beach, California: Billy Goat and an ascent above Pismo Preserve.

These may not be the most challenging of hikes but they do provide outlets to local hikers (including visitors) and good views. We always marvel at the gems that exist off the beaten track and of course, are known only to locals.

A nice background as Jen makes her way along Billy Goat trail.
While the other guy looks for a shady spot to sit, a little off trail.
Jen waits patiently...I think.

Moving onto Pismo Beach, Central Coastal California. 

Dunes at rear, pier fore.
Always appreciate color.
There she goes...probably trying to create a gap from 'you know who'.
Destination above, sort of getting our heads in the clouds.
Coast line is invariably a curve.
Cheers, 

Jenni and Jeffrey
