At Mittens!

Whew! That was a long trip from the East Coast to the West Coast. I was greeted very enthusiastically by Mittens the cat. She bonked me and rubbed me and sniffed me and nipped me and hugged me.

Then we talked. She's quite a frisky girl.

After all the feline formalities we headed off to the little marina

I was treated to a little boat ride.
Good thing I was already used to being on the water. This was different from the Texas hot tub. It was still fun though. On our way home we went to Sandspit. There was a big ship out there and a view of Morro Rock
The next day we went to Hearst Castle. Well actually the parking lot at Hearst Castle. It was late in the day and we missed the tours

Then we went to the park across the street from the castle. It was a beautiful day

The following day I went to the office with my host. We had to drive on a dirt road to get there. First we saw the big bunny.

Then we saw some flowers.
and the covered bridge.

After that I helped print some reports

I did some filing.Before we left, Violet the safety dog showed me how to use the tractor. Ever see a cat on a Deere?

Next on the agenda was a trip to Montana de Oro. I was very brave and I sat on the rocks near the water


Then I climbed onto some rocks by the tide pools. It was high tide so I didn’t get too far.

One day the son of my host needed a ride from the college. I got to hang out with the Cuesta Cougar.
On our way back home we saw a bear and I just had to meet him too. This is the North Bear.

Across the street from the bear is the Elfin Forest. The trees aren’t very tall here.
The fog was heavy so I could barely see the estuary and the water birds.

We went on the walking path and I couldn’t resist climbing up a pygmy oak tree.

My last day here was a beautiful sunny day. My host treated me to a walk at Coleman Park and a picture with Morro Rock. My host says I can just call it the Rock.
I had a lot of fun here. I’m scheduled to be at another event so I gotta go. See ya later!
