Cool again this morning with overcast skies. We made it up to 21°C this afternoon at the trailer.
Today had been declared a lazy day, I played around with some programming on the computer. This was something I had been avoiding for the last few weeks as I really wasn’t too sure how to do what I wanted to do. In reality it all went well, so more programming is on the horizon.
Meantime Lyn was busy trimming 128 pieces for a quilt.
After lunch we headed out for a walk around the area. Pismo Beach is one of the places that the monarch butterflies stop at on their migration. There is a group of eucalyptus trees about a mile from here where the congregate.
Unfortunately all of the butterflies have left now, if we were a couple of weeks earlier we would have seen 10’s of thousands of them.
We continued our walk along a boardwalk with the intent of finding a few geocaches. Unfortunately we only found one, most of the others had been reported as missing, at least we got some exercise.
We left the boardwalk and came back along the beach at the waterline where we found lots of sand dollars.

We left the hard packed beach and continued walking on the soft sand of the dunes; that gave us quite a workout! We finished up walking about 2¾ miles, the temperature down on the beach was noticeably cooler than it was back at the trailer even though it was only a couple of hundred metres a way.
