First a few Panoramic pictures
That is our trailer in the right foreground. You can just see the nose of our co-host's trailer on the right edge.
This is the view out our back window.
The view from the front of our trailer
And the view from the pier. This is nearly a 180 degree panorama. The coast is actually pretty straight here so the pier is not attached to a point as it appears in this picture. I need to learn more about the perspective tool to see if I can fix it.

| The Campground looking from the east | This is looking towards the park just after getting off of highway 101 | The kiosk at the gate where we spend 4-5 hours per day-more on Saturday | |||
 |
 |
 |
|||
| Looking south (towards the beach) with the rear of our trailer | Not all days have clear blue skies | I guess these guys do not have their IFR (Instrument Flight Rules) license | |||

 |
|||
| One of the Pelicans that hangs around on the pier | Surprisingly, this train is running from right to left with the engine in the rear | No caption needed | |||

| Gail driving the Gator | A weak rainbow just visible to the right of he land | The second of what will probably be many sunset pictures | |||

| A view up the Gaviota Hot Springs Trail | From the HS trail looking up the canyon used by 101 | This bubbling mud hole is the actual hot spring | |||

| The two ponds fed by the hot spring | A view up the trail to Nojoqui Falls | Nojoqui Falls pronounced no-ho-he |

The boys off the leash at Jalama Park beach | I'm going where you're going | |||

| What is it? | Alison came to visit on Thanksgiving and got a tour | Here we are on "our" pier in our CA Volunteers jackets | |||
 |

 |
|||
| The pier in the late afternoon | As seen from the hillside to the east of the park | A Cooper's Hawk as seen from inside our trailer | |||

| A Red Tail Hawk we have quite a few of these flying overhead | A small flight of Pelicans | A Gull watching the sunset with me | |||

| Surfers returning just before the park closes for the day | Sunset along the coast | ||||
 |
 |
 |
|||
| These three pictures are of a bobcat walking through the park | They were taken through the trailer window and with a short lens | so these are just a small piece of the total picture which is why they won't enlarge very much | |||
One of the things that attracts people to our park is launching boats from the pier and from the beach. Here are some pictures of boats be recovered-first some pier shots followed by getting a Skidoo from the water over the beach.

| Hooking up | hoisting | over the rail | |||

| Now the Skidoo sequence | |||||
 |
 |
 |
|||
| Here comes our happy pair of surfers | This is the dolly they use to get the boat across the beach | getting together | |||
 |
 |
 |
|||
| Here you see the first problem, the dolly back rides higher than the boat's bow | Working to get the dolly under the boat | still working | |||
 |
 |
 |
|||
| got it started | ugh-up the beach | still pushing | |||
