Fort Ord Dunes State Park

My husband and I just walked along the bike trail at Fort Ord Dunes State Park at sunset. Very beautiful, and Return of the Natives has done a great job re-establishing native plants where the ice plant used to take over the dunes. We walked to the bunkers and the old range tower and then turned around.

The only detraction was that we saw a couple homeless encampments. They were very well camoflauged from both the trail and the nearby highway. They were under the trees on the highway side, but since there is such thick brush AND it was similarly colored, a car zipping along at 55 mph wasn't going to notice them.
