Morro Bay

We backtracked down the coast to camp in Morro Bay.  The town is a fishing port that is most famous for Morro Rock, a lava neck that was created when magma in a volcanic vent cooled and hardened.  The surrounding earth eventually eroded away and the result is very dramatic:


The Morro Bay State Park campground was a bit crowded and the sites were spaced so closely together that it wasn't very private or romantic.  But the noise was less annoying after a glass of wine (or two).
