Surf City - Day 38

As we were departing Santa Cruz looking for a grocery store, a biker came along and saw we were checking our map for directions. His name was Tom and after telling him where we were going, he suggested we turn around and follow the coastline, which was much more scenic than the way we were going and even told us where we could find a grocery store along the way.  He said he was on his way home and we followed him along the shoreline drive. He led us past marinas and a spectacular bluff where there were a couple hundred surfers seen below catching the waves. He even offered that we could camp in his backyard but we wanted to move further down the coast. He noted the nice waves and left us to go surfing. After spending some time watching the surfers and eating lunch, we only travelled 20 miles to Sunset State Beach Campground.  We passed fields and fields of strawberries and artichokes that are being harvested. In fact, our campsite is only 10 yards from a very tempting strawberry field.
