Now check your calendars. Last Friday was October 10 - and the weather was 85 degrees. We parked, got out our map, we hiked down the trail, and found this:
Double HA!
Anyway, back to the subject. We have talked about getting a beach house for some time during a random summer week, and figured we should check these cottages out. These were built and lived in by folks over many years, and the State of California, seeing a good thing, decided to kick these folks out and take over. Now anyone can rent one of these beauts. Well, if you can stand the smell of old... and salty.... and musty wood... then you have the start of a dream vacation. One without phones, TV, or internet access. But a gor-gee-ous view just minutes from a Ruby's shake shack.
You can see several houses in the picture above; there are only about 18 out of 30+ that are actually renovated and livable. The brown one on the far right with the green fence was used in the movie Beaches. I think it's all of 8 feet across, and not in a livable state. If I remember that movie correctly, what I saw was a mansion much much bigger than this little shack. Hollywood movie magic, I guess.
These three are the nicest of the bunch. But since Huell Howser has made more folks aware of this golden California gem hiding on the bluffs in So Cal, you'll have a hard time getting in. But if Cindy and I don't come home on time some Friday evening, you might find us sucking down a vanilla milkshake with our feet in the tide pools.
