WINE, HEARST CASTLE and PACIFIC OCEAN

Spent time in Paso Robles, CA. Approximately  200 vineyards located in the area. Lots of wine to taste. Also Hearst Castle in San Simeon and Pacific Ocean within an hour's drive. This was definitely my type of camping - walk the dog with a class of wine in hand. Met lots of nice people at campground. Most were from California and Oregon.

Hearst Castle sits high on the hill. Driveway winds its way up 5 miles to the house, which at times seems like it is in the clouds. At one time, polar bears were part of the menagerie of animals kept at the estate. The pools are beautiful. When money is not an issue, it is fascinating to see and hear how this mansion came to be.
