POST walk and talk at San Gregorio Ranch
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"
