Yep...just south of Morro Bay. I was there from 1991 to 1994. Used
to hang out at the rock watching the peregrines. I miss walks around
shark inlet with my pooch. I lived in a one bedroom cinder block house
a block off the bay...just one street back from the main drag in
Baywood Park. Could watch the sunset from my kitchen window. My 80+
year old landlady lived in a house behind mine. She was great except
for the occasional drinking binges...I don't know how she survived
them at her age.

I love Montana de Oro. We made a special point to go climbing around on the
rocks whenever we passed that way. The campground maintains a nice selection
of raccoons, too. (Yeah, I'm a city girl, all we have are opossa.) Give one
an "empty" peanut butter jar and watch him go!

Perhaps, I was checking news at the exact moment it happened, because
I'm several hours ahead of you in the day?

A small world!

Much au contraire! :) Glad you didn't notice it.
I remember the day I arrived L.A. and you were driving me around. I
asked why every building were *houses* and where were the sky
scrapers? If you see a picture from my town (http://
barriodecuba.altervista.org/NationGallery/brasile/recife/vista%20aerea
%20recife%20skyline.jpg) you will notice lots of high buildings. I
remember your answer as it was yesterday (while Fred laughed)
"earthquakes. you don't want to be on a tall building when one hits!"
cheers!!!

And you didn't warn us in advance? Bastard!

What a great picture!

Apparently the big danger is seasickness from the sway. Unless the building
collapses, of course...

Hah. 4:04 AM. We don't notice anything less than 5.0 unless it happens right
under us and we don't even wake up for anything under 6.0! Those jerks just
wanted to get their name in the papers!
