Today, I woke up and
hiked to the Hetch Hetchy dam to get sunrise pictures over the water. I also
hiked around the lake a little and then headed towards SFO to pick up another
friend that was joining me for the next few days. I made it to SFO, a little early and headed
to Costco for supplies. I picked him up
and we went to Trader Joes for the rest of the food for the week. 
I had already driven from Yosemite this morning, and he got
up early to fly in. So we decided to go
to Half Moon Bay State Beach for the night.
It was only about 11 miles away,
easy drive we thought. NOT! Little did we know that there was a Pumpkin
Festival at Half Moon Bay. It took us
1.5 hours to go 9 miles, but it was nice
scenery and gave us a chance to talk.
We got down to the beach,
and there was a line. The ranger
was turning away all the RV’s in front of us saying that they were full. She told us she was full, and we thanked her and asked if there was
anywhere else close to camp. She must
have dealt with a number of unpleasant people that day, and we think it kind of
surprised her we were nice about being turned away. She walked around the truck and kept looking
at us. I mentioned that we were less
than 21 ft long, and by the time we got
up to the window, she had found a site
for us to stay. And what a wonderful
site it was, not many people around and
a great view of the beach and ocean.
We took a short walk to the beach and even got in the water
for a bit, then headed back to grab a
beer and start a fire. We walked down and enjoyed the sunset. Then I cooked chicken on the grill, and did
the roasted vegetables over the fire, had a few more beers and had a great
night.
