Exploring my former backyard

An Amtrak train barrels down the track along Coast Highway 101 in Cardiff-by-the-Sea. Coast Highway 101 separates Cardiff State Beach on the west and the San Elijo Lagoon on the east.

I used to live in Encintas, California and the entire time I lived there, I never got around to walking and exploring the San Elijo Lagoon. So on one of my two consecutive furlough days this past week, I drove the 50 minutes north during rush hour to get up there before sunset. It was gloriously sunny in central San Diego but by the time I got up past La Jolla, the coast was socked in. So, no stunning sunset photos of the lagoon but it was fun and I took a couple of shots that I'll be making into notecards. Next time I wanna go back with someone so I can explore more of the trails.
