Stayed at Janet & Curt Frame's, friends of Cookies...janet took us up the coast to see the sights.  This is moonrock bay, where you can find the moonrock, a special translucent looking stone...lots of rockhounds there.

by the sacred rock where only the indians can climb it if they want...water was super-dangerous  with it's tides...the water was splashing right over the breakwall and you could actually see the strong wild and whirling currents.

In the harbor of Morrow Bay...the rock i mentioned above is from  a series of volcanos going inland.

From high up on a cliff

Janet took us high in the mts...beautiful scenery and switchback roads.  in the background, right in the middle of the pic. below the blue mt. is the rock shown in above pics.

I forgot to mention my cousin Shirley Weeks, we visited her in Ventura, CA.  She is Uno Palokangas's daughter.  First time we met her.  She's 88 years old, sharp as a tack and uses her computer every day.

The flowers were not in full bloom, altho i managed to spot more blooms  in Morrow Bay than anywhere else.  This a succulent plant...the head of this plant is at least 12 to 14 inches across.

I don't know what this flower is, but it sure is beautiful!!
