Big Surf at Camp Pendelton







We are now in California. After spending the first week at San Mateo State Park and then four nights at Lake O'Neil at Camp Pendelton, we are finally at the beach! The surf is huge due to a storm out in the Pacific off Baja, and it is drawing the surfers to the ocean by the hundreds. In fact, I counted 100 surfers at the Old Man's Beach south of our campground and nearly another 100 at Trestles.

The surfers are on their boards and riding waves at first daybeak and still out there after the sun sets. It's quite a show, and we can watch all day long from where we are parked . . . right on the beach!

Tomorrow we will have a Crabb beach picnic and see all the family. It should be a fun day.
