Using the force, great recommendations, a degree of serendipity and some good luck we scored a campsite at the full campground at Jalama Point about an hour north of Santa Barbara. Beautiful, remote and rugged coast with a cast of campers as hearty and intrepid as their location.
lego sensi-Jayden:
Earl immediately ran off with the gang of Longbeach fun folks from group camp site D, befriending their seven year old son Jaden. Mom and dad, Bradey and Jo, had a very Tierney setup with strings of lights (dimmers) and burning tiki lamps- a spread of tapas, grilled shrimp and tuna civiche set on the table, ska on the radio, red stripe at the bar and all the legos a boy could ever dream of. He resurfaced for bed around ten thirty.
Jalama burgers live up to the hype:
Tasha and I watched the sun set with Quinn and Hayes as the fellas stacked cairns along the dunes running up the outer shore. The coastline is powerful, roaring, raw and isolated. Waves smashing in multiple sets several hundred yards out from shore. A beautiful end to the day.

Great meeting you guys as well. We are flying out of SF on this trip, so we will have to connect on the next adventure. I have Brady's card and I'll keep in touch. We try to get to CA two or three times a year-would be fun to keep in contact. Best to you and your great family.
