I think the sea lion, the starfish and the butterfly pictures are great---except that you won't encounter many of them while climbing. For most of the Central Coast, these constitute the wildlife that you will most likely interact with. (No, not trying to be gratuituous; these pics were all taken during climbing outings...)

Still feeling nostalgic--here's one more shot of the Kalorama Barranca, in Ventura. On this particular day, I watched Mark solo lap after lap in his Vans.
A little cliff along the beautiful highway 152. The other side has some of the bigger spires. Some call this Lover's Leap and is directly across from Henry Coe State Park.

The Central Coast offers outstanding rest-day opportunities. Here, Bill Vecchiarelli paddles out near the Ventura Pier.

Of all of the Central Coast's amazing native animals, THIS ONE gets my vote as the single most unbelievable. I watched this particular fish "fly" for over 200 yards before crashing into a pier.

Beautiful scenery just a mile east of Gilroy.
Emma Wood State Park. Just north of the Ventura rivemouth. The concrete blocks in the photo are the remains of a pair WWII era anti-sub gun placements.

Over-wintering Monarch butterfly, Central Coast of California. <br> <br> If you happen to be climbing on the Central Coast in December or January, be sure to stop by Ellwood Main, the seas-side bluffs near UC Santa Barbara. Ellwood is home to the largest wintering population of butterflies in the state of California (some years boasting more than 1 million of the beautiful creatures).
