So many people I know are fleeing California. Yet I despair I will ever leave. I lived in Arizona for a brief time. Being that far from the ocean caused me a lot of anxiety. Nowadays I am drawn to the ocean constantly and feel at home on the beach. We recently camped at Coastanoa between Santa Cruz and Half Moon Bay. Spent some time at Greyhound Rock. I have been walking that beach since 1973. Still gets to me.
