on a squirrel. |
POST recently purchased the San Gregorio Ranch and we were invited to join them on a short walk through the property that included both coastal ranchlands and beach. Unfortunately, I neglected to turn on the GPS until halfway through the hike, but we largely came back the same way we went out. Afterward, we enjoyed a nice lunch at the Loma Mar Outpost.

We took a short hike through the property, past this man-made reservoir used to water cattle and crops, that has recently naturalized. |
The beach can be reached during low tide from San Gregorio State Beach to the south and contains a fantasic driftwood structure called "The Drift" built by "The Makers". |

Lori and I joined our neighbors Christine, Alan, Vera at the Frost Amphlitheater for an evening of music. Steven Reineke conducted the San Francisco Symphony and Lena Hall. The program, James Bond Forever, included 19 theme songs from 25 James Bond movies from 1962 to 2021. The conductor, Steven Reineke, and the vocalist, Lena Hall, had good senses of humor and lots of energy. By the end, we wanted to binge watch all of the James Bond movies.
