TAKE A RIDE...

"Just as the hand, held before the eye, 

can hide the tallest mountain, so the routine 

of everyday life can keep us from seeing 

the vast radiance of and 

the secret wonders that fill the world."

~ Author unknown

My drive to work starts with 

a view of the coastline 

before heading inland 

toward the city of San Luis Obispo...

learn about SAN LUIS OBISPO here!! 

Along Hwy 101 is 

SEE CANYON 
a fertile, micro-climate for growing apples and grapes... 

Turning off Hwy 101 onto Hwy 1,
 (not as confusing as it sounds)
and heading towards Morro Bay, 
I pass the entrance to...

 

CAL-POLY, SAN LUIS OBISPO 

a four year state college...

 ~~~~~

known for their

agriculture, architecture, business, crop science, engineering majors...

CAL POLY - SLO QUICK FACTS

 

 ...continuing my drive down Hwy 1,

are the entrances for

Cuesta College 

(local two-year community college)

AND

:: SLOCOE ::

San Luis Obispo Co Office of Education

(ahhh... )

:: a beautiful place to work ::

:: great colleagues ::

:: stimulating environment ::

and located in a 

thriving natural environment!

CHECK OUT

some of our "neighbors"

another "neighbor"

outside our lunch room!

...these pictures were used for 
a state-wide meeting

to highlight the  
amazingly-beautiful  
areas of San Luis Obispo County!

I moved here almost 40 years ago
(doesn't seem possible) 

to attend Cal-Poly
(and never left)

I'm one of the lucky ones! 

:: housing costs are hIGh ::

:: finding work is difficult ::

:: pay scale is low ::

 But - it is worth ALL the 

sacrifices to live here...

I pinch myself every day I drive along the coast

AND try never to take the beauty for granted!

FYI ~ San Luis Obispo is listed as 
one of the BLUE ZONES in this book...
