Preface: After finishing our four-hour hike at Huddart Park at 6:05 pm, Deborah drove down Highway 92 to Half Moon Bay. There were fog banks hovering over the mountains, and we found a space along the road for photos. When we arrived at Half Moon Bay State Beach, it was cold & windy. I just had a short-sleeve vest, so Debrorah gave me her long-sleeve pullover since she had a jacket. This kept me warm during our walk. Connie & Cay took me here around 2005 viewing the cliffs and going down to beach to find seashells. Today we walked along the cliff (6:58-7:17 pm), and there were many more wildflowers here than Huddart Park. Took photos of fog banks at Crystal Spring Reservoir from the car along Highway 280. Veggie Garden (2464 W. El Camino Real) was closed on Monday, so we went to Veggie Grill nearby (565 San Antonio Rd) where Deborah treated me for dinner. We both had the Mediterranean Supergreens Salad. 34 photos below.
