A WORLD APART

TORO CREEK ROAD
This new walk offers great vistas. You might find it hard to believe it is only a mile or so from the Pacific Ocean.
"It's the California I grew up in" was the comment from a
couple of hikers.
It's cowboy country to me, like scenes
from the old westerns.
You can find it off the Pacific Coast Highway
between Cayucos and Morro Bay.
Whatever you are dealing with today,
take this walk in a peaceful valley.

 Accompanied by the sound of birds, the creek and wind through the trees.

 Post card scenes of California that many do not know exists.
 Below, the sun splashes off Toro Creek.



 An old ranch homestead.
 A combination of cattle country and agriculture.
Below, old gourds wait to enrich the soil.

 Typical to ranch and farm country-a kind of museum of
old implements.

Probably some life left in this old boy.  Just waiting till it is needed again. 

 I particularly like the frame below.
Five layers of mother earth
including a fault line.
See you down the trail.
