We opted to take the bonus section east on hwy 58 to Pozo Road for an epic gravel climb and descent
We arrived in one piece in Morro Bay. Weather was fantastic and the Days Inn margaritas quenched thirst.

Larry took a pull at piloting the Fiat the morning of Day 2. The Anderson's Meyer's Resorter on Cypress Mountain Rd.
We arrived to lunch early and decided to scout some nearby roads and what did we find? More excellent dirt.
