Coal Oil Point Montage
I rode out near Cost­co for lunch today. After eat­ing and a dip into Cost­co for a sin­gle item I rode down to Coal Oil Point to enjoy the day. The left image above is the cross at Coal Oil Point and the sec­ond from left is a view west along the coast over­look­ing the Snowy Plover Preserve.

The two images on the right are an inter­est­ing glitch to the day. Return­ing along­side the Dever­oux Slough I decid­ed to ride the dirt trails sur­round­ing the north and west of the slough and on over to locate the monarch but­ter­flies. Alas, as I start­ed down the path shown in image three a stick kicked up and rammed my speedome­ter sen­sor into the brake. In all the years I’ve cycled I’ve nev­er had such an occur­rence. Image four is the Ram­bouil­let on its back allow­ing me to fid­dle around and fix the problem.

After the repair it was back on track to find the but­ter­flies. Click­ing on the play but­ton below will give you a nice idea about the won­der­ment of the day. All this made pos­si­ble by hav­ing a cell phone along, yeah 2010.
