Leaving the Military base we went to 101 and then Hwy 46 back to Cambria and San Simeon State Park.
We had got a reservation there in the morning (and that was a good idea, since when we got back at 5:00PM, the park was already full).

This night Mike prepare the dinner and the food was the best.

Who is Elton

I was born in Brazil and my wife and I moved to USA, California in 1996, for a change in our lives. Took us some time to learn the language and get into this country, but I think we are doing very well expect the learning a new language after 35 is not easy. We became citizens in 2007.
 My wife and I we love to travel and by the time I was writing this page, we have logged more them 100.000 miles on our BMW K1200LT Motorcycle, many more on our car and much more on the airplane.
Winter we do Snowmobile, Summer we go to the lakes for water sports (PWC) and we motorcycle year around (one of the goods of living in sunny California).

Few months ago we start learning about hiking and looks like the bug got us. We are now doing some hiking trips too.
