Thanks for the 411!
Trip cancelled. $hit!, this is the second trip we've cancelled for the end of August. Had to cancel 10 days in Alaska because the Covid testing results timing is too sketchy, don't want to sit in the condo for days waiting for results. This trip was supposed to replace the AK trip.
Back to the drawing board.
There are some great swimming holes and jump spots in that little area at the end of the road.
SLO County beaches are more crowded than they have ever been by at least 3-4x. But so is everywhere nice, it seems. Covid has changed things, big time.
Just got back from a week on Lake Powell. Not crowded.
It could be worse as in us in Santa Cruz County not having Junior Gaurds. My 11 year old missed guards and little league. His transformation to gamer is complete. Fuck.
Bummer. Last second, JG's was a go here, with some distance requirmentents and smaller groups. My kids were stocked as they are both instructors.
We did. And a ski boat. SUPER fun. Super hot, too.
Epic trip; had never been before.
Jammed up here in Oregon as well. From the mountains to the coast.... anywhere outdoors. sh!t even 5 miles in wilderness area with a backpack from my experience recently 
Seen the usual WA and a lot of CA plates but also ID, MT, CO, TX, NJ, NY, FLA. Also what appears to be a fuck ton of new and rented RVs and pull campers. Wondering if it'll start chill next month.

Awesome, man. I grew up waterskiing and I was really young but I still remember a ton. Amazing place for sure.
Any good thunderstorms?

Was amazing. Rode a wakeboard, surfboard, and tube but mostly explored crazy canyons and jumped off things. Unreal landscape.
No thunderstorms; would have been nice to break up the heat a bit.
Sucks, even directly on the coast. Marine layer holding it in. First photo is from the morning, 2nd are from an hour ago
Dang. Thanks.
Just trying to find some fresh(er) air for the kids over the weekend.
Heard SLO has just about the worst air in the whole US right now, without a fire that is.... in Santa Cruz they are asking the tourists to split so evacuees could use the hotels. Maybe the smokiness in SLO will get the tourists to split from there too
Something about the wind. It's been weird. Don't think anything short of the town breaking off at the hills and falling into the ocean will stop the tourists though.Heard SLO has just about the worst air in the whole US right now, without a fire that is.... in Santa Cruz they are asking the tourists to split so evacuees could use the hotels.

I've had people sitting outside, in 95 degrees, smoke, raining bugs (aphids in the cover trees decided to breed yesterday by the fvcking thousands) eating bolognese sauce 2000 calories at a time.
Shouldn't complain about having a business that calls to people so strongly...but i am. Constantly.
