Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park, CA

Drove down to Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park Friday night, our second trip this year. We booked reservations on Wednesday. This being off season that was plenty of time. I booked one of the four remaining 32 foot campsites. Max length trailer is listed as 27 feet and MHs at 32 feet. You could get something slightly longer into the park.

Weather was gorgeous 75 degrees during the day. Used the furnace a little in the evening and again in the morning. DW didn't like it on. When it cycled on and off it woke her up. So she turned off the furnace and we cuddled instead. Campground was not crowded. Campground showers were hot and clean. Restrooms were clean.

Saturday was a drive down the coast a little further south. Saw gray whales, one killer whale, one sea otter with baby, basking in the sun while floating on her back in the kelp beds. Numerous turkey vultures, but the California Condors were not out yesterday.

Saw deer and turkeys.

Took DW out to dinner Saturday night at Rocky Point Restaurant. We had surf and turf for two. Chicken, filet mignon, lobster tail and ribs with mushrooms. The largest pair of baked potatoes I have ever seen. Grilled sourdough bread slices with garlic butter and cheese. We will have the left overs for dinner tonight at home. Price was $89.00. With cocktails, wine, dessert and lattes it ended up at $150.00. Well worth the cost as a special treat.

Restaurant had a great view of the setting sun over the ocean. Restaurant is perched on a cliff overlooking the sea. Watched the waves crash onto the rocks. After the sun sets the flood lights come on to light up the view of the surf. Full bar is available. Restaurant is about 20 miles north of the park.
