Working Off Thanksgiving Dinner at Point Mugu State Park, CA 27 November 2009
 Lisa
and I had our family over for Thanksgiving dinner. The next day, we
went on a ten-mile hike to work off the holiday debauchery. I had been
to Point Mugu State Park before,
walking in the steps of the Chumash, up a steep 7000 year old
trail.These photos are not technically as good as they could be do to snafus and poor settings, but they're still enjoyable. Creek in Serrano Canyon, Point Mugu State Park. |

Pacific Ocean.Cabrillo explored the area in 1542 and mentioned the village of Muwu, Chumash for beach. If Mugu, the name of a point, a rock, and a lagoon in the area, is derived from muwu, it may be the oldest recorded name of a California location in existence. |

 Sure,
I had taken
photos of the tops of cacti before, but it was so fun that I couldn't
resist doing it again.

 We
scampered under the low bridge, under Pacific Coast Highway, to get to
Sycamore Cove, across the road from Sycamore Canyon, just in time to catch
the setting sun, before heading south on PCH to The Reel Inn to enjoy some
fresh fish. |
