After a full breakfast, Newman style, we went to the elephant seal overlook. It is closer to the animals and a bigger population and space, then the one in Point Reyes. The dogs are allowed along the walkway. With Jack in his stroller, we had a great time. There were mostly males, with only a few females coming in to give birth so far. Three new pups were there and lots of wonderful vocals from the males. The docent was great. He explained that only about 20% of the males ever mate and some "yahoos go on the sand to confront a 3 to 4 thousand pound angry, frustrated animal". They are amazing creatures.
From there we drove to Cambria. Cute town, bought a few things. If anyone finds a pair of dragonfly earrings, with a purple patina, I bought and lost them there. Sorry, Alexandra.We walked along the boardwalk on the ocean side of Cambria and watched the sunset. We met the morning's docent and chatted! Back to the campground for dinner, a star filled sky.
