After leaving San Diego, Grandpa Bill hitched a ride with us to drive to LA. We took the old highway along the beach and through a lot of towns up the coastline. The weather turned to rain, but we made the best of it and found a few places to check out. I like to find random spots on Google Maps that I've never heard of (and to annoy my wife), so we checked out this marker called Pirate Tower. It wasn't easy to find, so we ended up circling around through a couple of neighborhoods a few times. The trail entrance was basically between two people's houses and wasn't marked, and then it led to a staircase down to the beach where we had to make our way along the cliffs. We all almost got washed away by the sea and the rain, but we made it!
Found it!
Ye Pirates beware!
Got a little wet in the process.
After that, we hit the overly crowded beaches at Huntington Beach. We couldn't find anywhere to park or even walk through the neverending hordes of people all over this massive beach.
It's like looking for Waldo in that crowd, but we're over there somewhere.
It did have a pretty nice pier with a few gift shops. Have to buy souvenirs, of course.
