Another cold, overcast, and windy day – but no rain.  Once again, we walked on the beach, marveling at the changes wrought by the pounding seas over the past few days. But the beach is still beautiful, in all its changing forms…

 

Last night we again enjoyed a cozy dinner with friends inside their Airstream – Various hors d’oeuvres, salad, pot roast, dessert, plus several wines, topped off with limoncello… And an enjoyable time was had by all.

This has been our 2oth visit (give or take) to Crystal Cove State Park – El Moro Campground.  Twenty five years ago (give or take) it was all owned by The Irvine Company, who donated all this land to the State of California – over 3 miles of Pacific Coastline, plus over 2,400 acres of wooded canyons, open bluffs, and the Historic District, complete with cottages dating from the 1930, now restored and available as vacation rentals.

I’ll do a campground review later, but for now, suffice it to say that is one special place on the California coast that everyone should visit…
