Well, I think I've found a simple way to Solvang, Ca!!  GBG

Back Way to Solvang  OK, I like to avoid freeways and I think I have succeeded!!!

The way back...

The Way Back Home

Sherm and Skid want to head back to Solvang!   We don't have much going on for rides this year on the Left Coast, and it is much appreciated!  It will be a smaller group that have been there many times and ought to be a lot of fun!!!!  (It was!!!)

.... and I'm off to see the wizzard!!!   GBG  On the Road Again... sing it Willy!!!!

Lake Nacimiento  Upper right, on the dam

Miniature horse farm near Solvang

For size perspective, about knee high...

Vista point at  Cachuma Lake east of Solvang.

The wet winter saved this place, was here last year and it was near the bottom!!!

Went to Jalama Beach... for what else??  A Jalama burger!!!!  They ARE trademarked!!!  And the road out there is pretty much paved... GBG + sigh!!!   I will say the patch folks were busy tho.....    Jalama Beach

View from the restaurant....  bit of a reflection in the pic...

My good friend Don VSP(Very Short Person)  Real big in heart tho!!!!!

Beach pics while waiting to park at the lighthouse tour...

Just above the pedestrians head, around the point, was our destination. They made a road and it was JUST big enough for our trolley!!!  They did not waste any space!!!!
 

Waiting patiently.... har!

The light house!!!   OK, now you were expecting bigger???!!!   When Ya start building on top of a 100' cliff, Ya don't have to go up too high!!!  Just a small two story house!

On the way back down I managed to get a shot out the door!  We did go up a bit!
