We arrived at El Capital State Beach campground and set up home for a week. We were on top of the cliff, overlooking the ocean. Still a bit windy, but the sun was shining!
Tried going for a hike to see waterfalls on Friday. The trail head was at the end of a windy, narrow street and we were quite unlucky in finding a spot. When we did we were a 1/2 mile away. The trails were not well marked either and chose the wrong path. Ended up at a dead end. At least the views were good! Unfortunately during this hike we lost our buddie, giraffie.
The following day we went for a pleasant stroll on San Antonio Creek path. Benat walked most of it himself. Path wandered next to the creek swollen from recent storms. The path crossed the creek and we couldn’t cross and turned back.
Sunday we visited downtown Santa Barbara. Cool town, interesting architecture, nice people. Started with coffee at Rebar then Matt and Benat took a trolley/bus ride. I walked Dexter to the beach and was rewarded by a craft fair! Later in the day involved nor beach time at the campground and potty training work.
Monday we went back to the previous trailhead to find waterfalls. Again we lost for parking and had to walk a 1/2 mile again just to start this 3+ mile hike. We didn’t find the waterfall trail but we did manage to get to inspiration point!
