San Luis Opisbo

The last 2 nights we spent at a state park called Limeklin. After the San Francisco fire around 1908 there was a need for lime to make bricks to rebuild the city. At this state park site there was a deposit of lime and they mined it and then refined it on site. The lime played out but the four large kilns were still there or at least most of them. They mined and reefined it there and then loaded it on ships parked off the point. It was a real pretty park but we had no electricity, no internet, and no cell phone reception. It make for a relaxing weekend. There also was no church for probably 70 miles. From there we had a big climb over the headlands then the rest of the day was easier driving, Thank goodness. The host at our last camp out told Paul that he should drive and just put the bike in the truck. Of course that didn't go over too well with Paul. I made it safely over the hill though. We still have a few more hills to get over before we are done with Hwy 1. I will sure be relieved for that. Now I am starting to think about getting past LA and San Diego. I am trying to take it one day at a time. I almost don't want to go to bed because the next day I must drive and try to figure out where to meet up with Paul again. I hope I can enjoy the trip more after San Diego. Paul is doing pretty good. He has had some back pain today and his heel muscles are giving him some trouble. This is a lot for a 62 year old to take on. Well I better post and give Paul the computer so he can do his.
