A big thanks to Camp Ocean Pines for hosting us at their beautiful facility. As a way to give back to the camp we planted Monterey Pine trees to help cultivate one of the few remaining groves in the world.
Sunday's ride carried us down the coast to Morro Bay where some cyclists enjoyed a beautiful sunset from kayaks as they explored the richly diverse estuary consisting of 2300 acres of mud flats, eel-grass beds, tidal wetlands and open water. The bay is the receiving basin for the runoff from 48,000 acres of watershed.
Two dozen threatened and endangered species live in the Morro Bay watershed, including the peregrine falcon, brant, brown pelican, sea otter, Morro Bay kangaroo rat, black rail, snowy plover, steelhead trout, salt marsh bird's beak, and Morro manzanita.

A big hardy thanks to Caroline and Whitney for coordinating our school programs this morning and making today so successful. Our crew split to visit both Montessori Children's School and Grover Elementary where both groups enjoyed working along side students sharing our message of sustainability through presentations and work projects.
If constellations had been named in the 20th century, I suppose we would see bicycles. ~ Prof. Carl Sagan
