49.26 Montana de Oro State Park: Hazard Peak and beyond, near Morro Bay.

The views generally in this region are lovely. However, when combined with the pattern of weather experienced, particularly the thick, low clouds, the atmosphere proved to be quite spectacular, without exaggeration. The pictures below tell their own story which we believe is aided by one's imagination and perspective. We'll leave it to you, the viewer to decide and leave off our usual captions, comments and headers. Cheers,  Jenni and Jeffrey

49.10: California: Eagle Peak, Mount Diablo plus 49.20 Diablo Peak itself.

After twenty minutes, we reach this point with a view of the mountain being strip-mined and enjoy the grass, once again. A different view of the mountain from below Eagle Peak. Found a longer but more exciting way up...for a short-while. Jenni finds her own way around. Another opportunity to get off the trail. Understandably breathless after a very steep climb. Closing in at the top. Finally, reach the peak after some fun diversions. Peak Mount Diablo. View from the top. Jen reaches the non-operable beacon. Was shut-down after Pearl Harbor attack in case it provided a beacon for the Japanese fighter-jets. Now lit up once a year. Guess the date in early December? The leader approached us indicating he wanted to 'make something of our presence'. At least the cows have been welcoming.    Cheers,   Jenni and Jeffrey
