Dropped into San Gregorio today for the first time this year. One of the things I like about this time of year on the beach is seeing all the weird crap that the winter storms washed up. I saw a perfectly good fishing net half-buried in the sand. I thought about taking it home and hanging it on my wall until I realized it would make my house look like a cheap seafood restaurant. San Gregorio is so long it always seems deserted. Almost spooky. You half-expect to see CHarlton Heston screaming at a half-buried Statue of Liberty, "You maniacs!... You blew it up!". It's a great place to take someone when you want to private picnic for two all by yourself. Also at San Gregorio you can leave your clothes in the car since the parking lot is on private property. It costs $5 to park there but I've never heard of a break-in like sometimes happens at other beaches. Not to much sun today. I could barely see my shadow. I walked from the trail to the end of the beach and back and only saw about a dozen people all together even though it's well over a mile. It was a nice hike on the beach, though. The windbreaks mostly survived the winter
