Los Osos, like south of Morro Bay Los Osos?
I lived there for about a year while I was in school at Cal poly
S.L.O. A 5 bedroom house with a commercial ochid greenhouse attached.
Imagine our disappointment to disover that the next door neighbor was
a SLO County Sheriff's deputy :(.
Neat little town.

Yep...just south of Morro Bay. I was there from 1991 to 1994. Used
to hang out at the rock watching the peregrines. I miss walks around
shark inlet with my pooch. I lived in a one bedroom cinder block house
a block off the bay...just one street back from the main drag in
Baywood Park. Could watch the sunset from my kitchen window. My 80+
year old landlady lived in a house behind mine. She was great except
for the occasional drinking binges...I don't know how she survived
them at her age.

I was fitfully sleep/awake and it got my attention. Looked at my watch,
was 4:04 am, rolled over and fell into a deep sleep. Where I'm staying
the foundations are sitting on an alluvial fill of granite and sand that
has eroded from San Gabriel mountains that rise up at about a 60 degree
angle from the backyard. Earthquakes in that area often feel like you're
on a boat rolling and swaying over swells.

Sorry for the late response, been travelling...

I love Montana de Oro. We made a special point to go climbing around on the
rocks whenever we passed that way. The campground maintains a nice selection
of raccoons, too. (Yeah, I'm a city girl, all we have are opossa.) Give one
an "empty" peanut butter jar and watch him go!
