San Simeon area trip

Quick little weekend trip, Cambria Brewing, Washburn campground, elephant seals, southern Big Sur, Hearst Ranch beef, Moonstone beach. The new discovery was Frutiland in Arroyo Grande. Killer mexican food. I shot the D600, mostly with the 300mm, some 16mm. Sara the D200 with the 55mm. Full albums here, here.
