Okada Peak
Jay and Cathy Okada have the good fortune to live in Los Osos, between Montana del Oro State Park and Morro Bay. Just behind their house, we hiked up to a peak overlooking the bay. Geno and Jay continued on the trail to Montana del Oro.
Mary (Cathy's mom) and her dog Sadie joined us on the hike. They have their own rest stop along the way.
Taking a well-used trail to the top of the hill
Mary, 83 years young, is in terrific shape!	Great view of the bay from Okada Peak
Top o' the peak	Geno and Jay headed out on this trail to MdO
Hiking the Ridge Trail in the state park
The Ridge Trail is Jay's favorite. No question about it.
Coming in to Spooner Cove at MdO
Morro Bay Harbor
Morro Rock dwarfs the harbor area
Both pleasure and working boats are moored here
This sea lion pops to the surface and strikes a funny pose. Don't you eyeball me!!
Murals depict the long history of commercial fishing on the central coast
Unloading fresh swordfish and black cod from the boats to the local restaurants and markets
But a rusting boat indicates the uncertain future of the fishing industry
