 View from the top of Bishop's.
Below is the city. by unfortunate_dreams
For an extra treat, try climbing Bishop's at night (bring a flashlight). I climbed up in the summer and it was very warm and pleasant. BEAUTIFUL view from the top where you can look down at all the lights of the city. At the very top there is a flat rock you can lie on and when I went the weather was perfect for stargazing. Definitely worth it. Leave a Comment

Music Man is a guitar manufacturing factory located in San Luis Obispo, California. We went there in 1998, phoned from S. Francisco asking for the opportunity to visit the factory and the answer was simply: YES! You cannot imagine the happiness of my boyfriend (now husband), who has been playing guitars for 16 years and loves both Music Man guitars and Ernie Balls accessories (founded by an Italian called Ernesto Palla!). The visit lasted 1 hour, we were followed by the marketing manager (a very nice American guy) and we were both enthusiastic! In 1998 it was not possible to buy a guitar there BUT California is FULL of guitar shops...you will find a huge range of Music Man. And I can assure it: they are 90% handcraftly made. That's why they are so expensive and their sound is so special....
Address: 151 Suburban Rd.

OK, so it's a long way off the beaten path from SLO to Cholame, CA. A total of 50 miles: some 16 miles via 101 to Altascadero then 34 miles on Route 41 to the intersection with Route 46. This intersection is known as James Dean Memorial Intersection and the the location where James Dean was killed in a car accident.
James Dean was just 24 when he died, after starring in only three movies: Rebel Without a Cause, Steinbeck's East of Eden, and Giant. He then started a brief racing career. While traveling from LA to Salinas for a race, he was killed at this unusual y-shaped intersection by a driver who cut in front of him while attempting to turn left, resulting in a head-on collision.

If you like apples, you have to go to SEE CANYON!!! Here are many orchards and little stops to buy many different types of apples and grab some SUPER fresh cider!!! It's a fun treat for the whole family!!!
Directions to Gopher Glen

Take Highway 101 to San Luis Bay Drive.
Coming from the north, the exit off Highway 101 is approximately 5 miles from San Luis Obispo. Take the San Luis Bay Drive (See Canyon) exit west.
Traveling from the south (about 2 miles from Pismo Beach) begin looking for the San Luis Bay Drive exit and go west.
Go about 1 mile and turn right on See Canyon Road (across from Belleview School). Gopher Glen is approximately 2 1/2 miles up this tree covered canyon road. Follow the signs. On the way to Gopher Glen you will observe small apple orchards and over 100 year old apple trees. You will also enjoy many oak, sycamore and maple trees. The drive through See Canyon is truly a remarkable experience. Leave a Comment

instead of hitting the usual beaches here are some that most tourists don't know about. in shell beach.
get off the freeway at "mattie road" and then turn right.
at the pelican point hotel, park and walk down the path on your right. follow the steps down to the beach. be careful!

 Solvang : the Danish town by GUYON
There are several wind mills though I thought they are more typical of Netherland.
In the main street, they sell mainly wooden toys.

Go to Central Coast Wines during Farmers' Market (every Thursday evening all along Higuera Street) and taste featured local wines, only $4!! The people there are friendly, and the wines there are reasonably priced.
Located at the end of Higuera, towards south Leave a Comment

it's gross. yet oddly somewhat intriguing. this 4 foot wide alley harbors an innumerable amount of chewed gum. people have created their own graffitti with their gum and have given this place a name on the SLO map.
not quite sure where it is, it might be behind SLO brew but ask someone downtown and they'll point you in the right direction. Leave a Comment
