San Luis Obispo Trip - Day 3

Carolyn had meetings this morning in Paso Robles so I just hung around the hotel until early afternoon when she returned. Of course that doesn't mean I really hung around the motel just that I didn't have wheels so my radius of exploration was limited. Fortunately there were three geocaches within a half mile of the hotel.

The first was across the street (now that is access!) at the veteran's memorial building - an old Japanese artillery piece from WWII.

The next was somewhere in the neighborhood of a footbridge across a lovely little creek. I can't say for sure because I never found it. And the third was just off a freeway on-ramp and easy to spot if you know what you're looking for. Another 2 of 3 geocaching day.

When Carolyn got back we both took a short nap then headed downtown for the "Farmer's Market". In San Luis Obispo this market is apparently held every Thursday evening from 5:30 pm on and includes food booths and school and community information booths in addition to the "farmers" booths. Today they were even exhibiting souped up tractors that are used in the tractor pull contests. Unfortunately, the weather put a bit of a wet blanket on the affair with a drizzle that started at 5:30 as well.
