MORRO Bay State Park will be our home base for this 5 night 6 day trip. Reservations can be made at Reserve California starting this month! **October 23, 2024. Reservations open at 8AM**

There are many options for lodging. You may want to find some friends and rent a house.

We will paddle in the estuary and the harbor. There is a great kayak launch right across the street from the campground. There is also a launch in the harbor.

Anyone willing to lead a hike or other activity please leave a comment.

**AGENDA**
4/23- Wednesday - arrival day - no activities

4/24- Thursday - Bike ride. Bring a lunch. Meet at campsite 4 at 10AM. We will ride along the water front, visiting the Otter Nursery, to the rock and then visit the Morro Strand state beach, famous for the sand dollars there. We can lunch on the beach there. Total distance is about 15 miles.

**Thursday afternoon - Happy Hour - 5 PM at Carole’s site 4. Bring a snack to share, drink and a chair. If anyone has a propane fire pit to share it would be appreciated. SKEG will pay to fill your tank.**

4/25- Friday - paddle the estuary. OTW 9AM
We will launch from the area next to the Kayak Shack, across the street from the campground. You may also choose to use the Kayak shack launch for $5.00. It is an easier launch and you don’t get your shoes wet. We will be in the bay with no place to land, so dress for cold water.

4/26- Saturday - Paddle the Harbor. OTW 9:30. We can launch at the area across from the campground or we may decide to go to the public boat launch area. Depends on how the launch looks as the tides are not real high this day. Check comments as I will post location the day before. No fee to park at public boat launch as long as you stay out of the middle parking areas. Again, dress for cold water.

**Saturday Afternoon - Happy Hour - 5PM at Carole’s site 4. Bring a snack to share, a drink and a chair.**

4/27- Sunday - Open Day
There is lots to see in this area. Some options are:
Hearst Castle
Cute small towns of Cambria and Cayucos
Montano de Oro for great hiking and ocean views
Elephant seal overlook
Little town of Harmony for interesting shopping and Ice Cream
