CLICK HERE TO SEE PICTURES OF OUR STAY
Always enjoy our time at this Thousand Trails, not a lot of activities but we enjoy trying to find the bobcats that call this place home. Only one sighting this visit, saw one bobcat the first evening. The park is trying to capture the cats and have them checked out by a vet, the one we saw was sickly looking but seems it is too smart to get trapped.
While here we did some sightseeing.
It was a short drive to Pinnacles National Park from the campground. Packed a picnic lunch which we enjoyed after Len did a hike on the Bear Gulch Trail. This is such a pretty area, seems to be busy even during the week. Some 23 million years ago multiple volcanoes erupted, flowed and slid to form what has become this national park. Which remains a unique landscape. Len was able to spot a California condor, which had a young one in the nest, an amazing sighting.
Also visited Henry Cowell Redwoods, a state park. Henry Cowell Redwoods is located in the Santa Cruz mountains and is most famous for the 40-acre grow of towering old-growth redwood trees. The Redwood Grove Loop Trail will take you through some of the redwoods. Nice trail and many signs explain what you are seeing.
Len did a trip to the San Benito Historical Park. Last time he visited he was able to have access to all the buildings, but not this time. Seems the place is going downhill which is a real shame as they do have many nice items that should be preserved.
Drove into Santa Cruz, know better than to go on a weekend, but there we were, in bumper to bumper traffic driving past the boardwalk. Think everyone that lives in Santa Cruz was there, enjoying the beach and the amusement park.
Onto the next stop, more later.
