This afternoon I joined my buddy Mike and his family on a drive over to the coast via Vineyard Road to Adelaida Road to Klau Mine Road to Cypress Mountain Road to Santa Rosa Creek Road. We then went up and checked our marine mammals near Point Piedras Blancas while failing to find any elk on the inland side of Highway One. We did manage to see Heart Ranch zebras but I did not take any images of them on this day. We then headed down to Morro Bay for dinner and afterwards headed home. On the way to dinner from the north coast we saw the spoutings of about 30-40 dolphins north of Morro Rock in three distinct podlets but I could not capture them on film as we were in transit. Before dinner we stopped by Morro Rock and we saw a large clan of sea otters.
