Nice pix! SD is a nice town, great food, good weather, lots to do.

Harry, have you ever hiked from Paso Robles to the coast ? We did that from Camp Roberts once when we were there evaluating a National Guard unit. Quite a hike, but the view when you crested was awesome. Looking out at the Pacific from those mountains was beautiful.

Did a lot of training just north of you at Fort Hunter-Liggett; King City.

Hunter-Liggett? Hmmmm....what does that remind me of? Ah yes, that: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UypqH0dkRAI

From here to the coast would be a long hike (and no real direct trails, alas), it would be a great bike ride though, I've been bike riding lately so something to work up to.

Hunter-Liggett area is beautiful. Been there once when visiting Mission San Antonio. The area around Lake San Antonio is also very beautiful, just S. of Hunter-Liggett, we were there just a couple of weekends ago. Classic California scenery, rolling golden hills and oak trees.

Wow.. you were in my own area.. Looks like you know all the spots.. Swami's is the place!

San Diego certainly is a very nice place to visit. I spent a day down there at the zoo last week on a date, and the weather couldn't had been nicer.
