Kirk heard about taking Refugio Road from Hwy 1 over the mountain to Los Olivos, so this was our chance to do it. It was a beautiful route and we discovered Circle Bar B Ranch on the way. It has 18 cabins, serves 3 meals a day and has stables. We ate our lunch here.
The fall leaves were gorgeous!
The road was paved and gravel. Supposedly the bridge was washed out,
but we never encountered it.

After checking into our room at Cambria Pines Lodge, we went to Moonstone Beach to see the view. It was an extraordinarily clear day, as we saw the sparkling water and Channel Islands on our way up.
And, of course, we stayed for the sunset!
Our suite had a fireplace in the bedroom and the living room!
Here's Kirk relaxing in our room.

We stopped in Harmony and visited the glassblower shop and pottery shack.
The trip home was beautiful too! Morro Rock was so clear!
The vineyards had all turned autumn colors and were gold, orange and red!
This is out of order, but shows the steep pathway from the Lodge down to the village. On our way back up, we were in a downpour and got completely drenched! Good thing we had two fireplaces to use to dry out our clothes!
We had such a wonderful time!!
