How fortunate was I to have chosen Cal Poly as the college I attended. I was there in the early 80's and your video brought back so many great memories. Since college I have traveled the country extensively and have to say that the Central Coast is by far my favorite area.
That’s sweet of you but here is a small channel that is worthy of that praise (although content has been diminished because of COVID: ua-cam.com/video/nuUt--Rl6xc/v-deo.html
Thank you for this video. Growing up we spent one week every summer at Morro Bay State Park and the memories are still strong over 50 years later. I even took my children there so they could experience what made my childhood so wonderful! I haven't been there for nearly 30 years. I looked on Google Maps and it looks much the same. One thing that would be odd is to be able to go to the shops on the marina and actually be able to hear! There was a salt-water taffy stand in the parking lot right across from the 3 stacks and it was so loud you couldn't talk with he windows down! I am glad they are still there even if they serve no purpose other than a landmark.
Lived in Cambria back in the 70’s - moved to the Midwest have never gone back. Thanks for reminding me how beautiful it is! I plan to travel back someday and enjoy the site!
You have very nice travels. We were north of where you were in April of 2018 on our western trip. We did go to Carmel River State Beach and Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park and to Dog Hole Ports point of interest and while driving south (saw no trespassing and loitering signs for El Sur Ranch towards Big Sur) but could only get part way further south on 1 due to a road closure. Also saw kite surfers and lots of pretty flowers. Later saw elephant seals in San Francisco on a floating dock. Traveling with dogs limits going to some places.
Was in and around that whole coastal region in 2008 after my wife passed and I was convinced to come to PMTC to work. Been a while and thanks for the reminder of its beauty and need to go back. Oh, those door magnets in the window coverings are tough to pull off, so I slide them off.
Wow another video that took my breath away!! Love love California Central Coast. You live in such a beautiful state!! I think I can spend all day with those elephant seals. The snakes scared me. I like the bowl or cup that you bought
Wow what a great video!! I'm going to Morro Bay next week for some desperate soul searching since my husband's passing last year. So thank you so much for this.
BEST video yet!! The music really flowed with the beautiful central coast shots Debbie and John. Susie and I will be up there next month for her son's graduation at SLO.
California coast is so beautiful! My Mom & I drove the PCH from southern to northern about 10 yrs ago. California has been our favorite state for vacation!
🙌🏽🙌🏽 All of your videos are great but I was especially moved by this one. The ocean does it for me and the seals 🦭 & other wildlife were an added bonus! I loved your music selection as well. The bowls you purchased are gorgeous. Thanks for taking us along!😊
I just started watching your video after it popped up in my feed. Thank You so much! We just moved here last October from Central Fl and just made it over to Cambria and Morro Bay about a month ago and It was beautiful
DEBBIE & John, ,,hi, neat trip, don’t know what those’BLUE CONE FLOWERS IS but the RED is PIN CUSSION PROTEA, originated SO AFRICA , not seen poison oak,,only P IVY, & sumac. did you see that hawk ? Hope your Mother’s Day went well, happy trails, OH do you have the new park sys directrectory app? WTR recently mentioned it, happy trails 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Getting away from the cold and just spent a week on the central coast. Went to the Brown Butter Cookie Company yesterday and the cookies are delicious!!
@@Oilofmercy I live in Morro Bay ... we rarely get smoke from the major fires in Northern and Southern California. Fires in the Big Sir area have generated some smoke, but it does not linger.
What a fantastic video, the history, gardens, videography etc was just perfect. You made me want to go to every stop. Thank you! Sorry no Ice Cream :).
I was born and raised in Morro Bay. Thank you for doing such a wonderful job showing the beauty of the area. Would have liked to see some of the Embarcadero and the rock. Beautiful statue gifted to the town by the Women’s Commercial Fishing Association. “For those Who Wait” Subscribing to your channel to see where we can go....
We love this section of the coast - an absolute favorite area! We haven’t been there for a few years, so this was such a pleasure to watch. But now you tell me there is a live cam for the elephant seals? So much for productivity... Oh but the rattlesnake 🥺 so worried about them where we are parked for a bit. Anyway - loved this!
Great photos! I've lived on the Central Coast for years and it's rare to see a snake. You must be lucky! We are better known for bird watching and the otters, sea lions, and whales. I enjoyed seeing familiar sights and it's always fun to see what visitors discover.
Jaw-dropping coastal views, trails (looks snake-y😂)! Really loved how you showed the diversity of land between the E Sierras and the coast. I love those drives where you crest or descend a pass and it feels like you’ve entered another dimension. Thanks for the escape.
Wonderful video! Thanks for bringing back memories of times I've spent in this same area. Of all the places I've visited in my lifetime, I've never returned more times anywhere else than this part of California's Central Coast. It is just absolutely one of the most idyllic areas on this earth, and you do a great job of capturing that in your video.
Another wonderful video. Love the Coast. We are on Monterey Bay right now, but no sunny weather this week. Amazing how many elephant seals were there! When we were there in Dec. 2018 we saw an incredible fight between males. Thanks for sharing several sights to see next time we’re in the area.
Great job you two capturing the splendor of this area. Been there a couple times and it is difficult to translate what you experience into a video. You did a great job. Too bad we dont have smell-o-vision yet as that would complete the experience. Your video quality just keeps getting better. Keep up the good work, we appreciate you.
Thanks Frank. A friend told me that lots of times the elephant seal area is pretty stinky. We didn't experience that, or maybe I'm just used to living with John. 😅
Awesome reporting as usual!! Thank you! Will put it on my list. Going down south in my brand new Lexor that just fell on my lap. Making an appointment to get the Sumo something that you guys got to lift up the suspension. Need to research your vlogs to get the details & make appointment.
Wonderful and beautiful area! Hopefully some day these areas will be open again. Right now many of the hiking trails in the Central Coast area are still closed due to damage from the heavy rains in early 2023.
The seals are wonderful! Debbie your videos get better and better! So enjoyable and informational! Exactly what Chuck and I love to do campong...hiking and siteseeing. Great choice on the bills! I love pottery 🥰
Thank you for making this video....we are going to Morro Bay and this provides a great backdrop and possibilities. Love that you are doing this and sharing your world with us. Must say, the song that was used in this video called "Monsoons" is absolutely one of my favorite songs in the world *N*O*W* - I am obsessed with it :)
@@LifeCoachCarmen Thanks. Yes, I do the editing as well. As a friend once told me, "there's always enough time to do what you want and never enough time to do what you don't want." But there will come a time when other priorities get bumped to the top of the list.
@@FromShetoMe True enough! So glad you are enjoying all this and it is so motivating for me to see that you can do whatever you love to do at any time and any point in your life! Thank you!
Greetings from Alabama. Debbie, your videographic and editing skills are in full bloom in this work. The B roll is stunning and the story is well told. Even that good looking guy with you fits in. Well done!
Thanks for a great video! I just got a little teardrop camping trailer and spent last night planning small trips (from Eastern L.A. County) for 2021. The Central Coast was already on my list for April, but you gave me some great ideas for activities!
Enjoying your posts. I know you covered your campsite APs and books you follow but I can’t remember which UA-cam post title. We will be getting our van in a few months and would like to get an idea how things work snd where we can go...thanks for paving the way for newbies.
I was actually working on Friday’s video which will be using Google maps to plan your trips. I also use Allstays, Campendium, and iOverlander. Let me know on Friday if you have unanswered questions.
I have lived on the central coast most of my life. Now reside in Morro Bay. I can see the rock from my house and I love it.

It is an incredible part of the country.
Very good film, like a movie.
Seems these days I head to STM and VT to calm my soul and remember all the beauty in our world. Thank you.
I lived in Morro Bay for 24 years and it is breathtaking. My son still lives and works there.❤️
We all need a relative living in paradise so we can mooch dock.
Till those arasaka goons decided to ruin all of watson with their waterfront, now im out of work and i cant get out of northside :c
Watched your video, grabbed my camera, and immediately took off to ragged point. I've been to big sur but never stopped here..thank you for sharing!
We were there last Saturday to Monday. We stayed in that campground!!
We live in Los Osos just south of Morro Bay and feel so blessed to live here.
You are living in a slice of paradise.
There is a fabulous fish restaurant on the coast - Sea Chest? first come first served - then there is Linn’s Lolaberry Pies in downtown Cambria.
You got me at pie.
The Lollaberry Pie is excellent especially with vanilla ice cream.
Yes, Sea Chest.
Its been 30 yrs since last i saw that area. Still beautiful. Thank you.
Another great video. Thank You. Nice music too. Good information.
Great video💯👌

Been awhile since we’ve driven Hwy 1 to SF. So much to see.
Great episode! I love Morro Bay too.
Love you guys, living the life
Thank you for great videos. Blessings
Great video, l haven't been down. That coast since the 60's. Nice to see it's still "wild".
Was in and around that whole coastal region in 2008 after my wife passed and I was convinced to come to PMTC to work. Been a while and thanks for the reminder of its beauty and need to go back. Oh, those door magnets in the window coverings are tough to pull off, so I slide them off.
Glad nights are warming up and I won’t need to use that one for awhile.
Thank you!
Central Coast..Best part of CA. Getting back there in a few weeks. Can't wait.
This was an amazing episode. The camera work, the music, the locations. Top notch!
Spent a lot of time in that area in my younger years. Thanks for good memories.
Wow another video that took my breath away!! Love love California Central Coast. You live in such a beautiful state!! I think I can spend all day with those elephant seals. The snakes scared me. I like the bowl or cup that you bought
We actually went back the next day and spent the afternoon there.
Beautiful Vlog ….. in every way! Thank You!
Oh my. That was beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
I’m at Morro Bay and watching this again to get some ideas on what to do. This is such a great campground. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Wow what a great video!! I'm going to Morro Bay next week for some desperate soul searching since my husband's passing last year. So thank you so much for this.
If you haven't already been there, and if they are open, Hearst Castle is a great tour.
@@FromShetoMe I have been there but it's been many years. Thanks for the reply.
Everything about this video was awesome! Loved those purple flowers! And the seals! Poison oak...yikes!
You had some wonderful photography in this video! I missed seeing you cook for John! Thanks for sharing a fabulous beach trip!
I needed this today...thank you.
BEST video yet!! The music really flowed with the beautiful central coast shots Debbie and John. Susie and I will be up there next month for her son's graduation at SLO.
Will you be camping? 😂
@@FromShetoMe not this time. Susie made reservations at a resort lol. But having the Pleasure Way up there will be nice 😊

This is my community and I enjoyed watching your video. MBSP is my go to for local camping. Thanks so much for showing the beautiful central coast!😀🌿
Ocean, water, beach ... Being an "Aquarius" I love your excellent i-pictures of your perfectly structured coastal trip. Thanks a lot.
Love the California Central Coast. Nice that you came across waterfalls as the year has been particularly dry.
Yes, timing is everything and a storm had just moved through.
Beautiful video!!!!!
This is the very best video and music content I’ve seen! Great job!
Loved this so much and great tips of where to go! I felt Morro Bay was so spiritual when we went there. Just found your vlogs so will watch more. ❤
Thanks and Welcome.
Just excellent video! Govenor Newsom should definitely appointment you as California's State Travel Ambassador!
I just started watching your video after it popped up in my feed. Thank You so much! We just moved here last October from Central Fl and just made it over to Cambria and Morro Bay about a month ago and It was beautiful
Welcome to our little community. So much to see and do out in this part of the world.
@@FromShetoMe Thank you
That was excellent. Thank you 😊

Thanks for taking us along and sharing.
Safe travels

Those coastal shots are gorgeous! Love little out of the way places! Love the straw hat 👒!
One of my favorites!!! Music was awesome as well. Thank you!
Getting away from the cold and just spent a week on the central coast. Went to the Brown Butter Cookie Company yesterday and the cookies are delicious!!
Those were three perfect days, well except for the snakes! Beautiful scenery and the seals! Fantastic. Thanks for taking us along.
I feel blessed to live in the Central Coast of California. Great choice in music 🎶 ❤
Me, too!

What a great place to live.

In the early years of the elephant seals Beach , no parking lot or trails you just had to park on the side of the road much better now 👍
Yes, they have done a great job for both humans and wildlife.
