Oh, and another attraction that might be interesting (or not) to folks in Cambria. Nit Wit Ridge (also called Poor Man's Hearst Castle).

I love folk art and esoteric or unusual places. This place looks fascinating to me.

Oooo! That looks neat.

Huell Howser featured this on one of his shows. That man makes me cringe, but he has highlighted some cool spots.

LOL - one of the first things I said to Lisa when I saw the link was, "Has Huell Howser been here?"

We're in staying at Moonstone Cottages. My friend Janet, who I've known since I was 4 and she wasn't even a gleam in her mothers eye (she keeps trying to say we're not the same age), is coming with.

We booked all three of the tours but may or may not bail on one of them, Janet is fond of her afternoon naps. We're still working out details but plan to drive up on Friday hopefully arriving mid-dayish and then going back on Sunday.

Is anyone besides the LashPair doing the Friday evening tour? They don't have a car. I can always drop them off (or have one of us book that tour and leave Thurston at home with the other one of us).

We are and now that I have a new car we have room and it won't require anyone pushing it down the freeway.

Isaac and I are staying at The Fogcatcher Inn.

And we are actually signed up for FOUR tours.

Isaac's never been, and he loves architecture. We booked the three Lash Tours, but also Tour No. 1. I want to make sure he sees both the Roman and Neptune Pools, as well as some of Casa Grande. The other three tours are kind of esoteric, but if the Evening Tour covers the big stuff, we'll likely skip the main tour (which we have set for Friday just as we breeze into town).

But if none of the LashTours cover the big highlights, we're going to be at Hearst Castle most of Friday and Saturday!

Restaurant recommendation for those on the road from Cambria to Hearst Castle: San Simeon Bar & Grill. We ate there a few years ago and enjoyed it.

Quote:

Formerly known as San Simeon Restaurant. It was the first business opened when Hearst Castle was opened to the public in 1958. It remains to this day a famous dining & entertainment spot, with the best ocean view in San Simeon. It is enjoyed by tourists from all over the world as well as the colorful local people. Its location is ideal for any traveler. It is exactly half-way from San Francisco to Los Angeles, in the Southern end of Big Sur, only 3 miles south of Hearst Castle, and only a block to Pico Beach, world famous for kite-surfing, surfing. Only 7 miles from the elephant seals beach at Piedras Blancas.

Hope you all have a great time!
