We left the motel around 5:15 and headed north on Highway 101, taking the Hwy 46 exit about 7 miles up the road. As we were climbing in elevation (summit is only 1726 feet), we could see patches of valley fog tucked within the mountains. After we drove to the top of the hills, we began to descent into the fog, which was quite think in some places. When we made it over to Highway One, we had some cloud cover and hopefully, we'll get some eventual sunshine, since we were doing the A&C show in Cambria.
The sun never managed to show itself in Cambria and temps staying the mid-50's. People were coming out from Fresno and saying that it was pretty hot. Reports of 100+ degrees in Atascadero. Much, much cooler in Cambria, Not too many people showed up until around 2:00, but still much less than other shows we have done here, Mike had a full compliment of booths again and there was some very nice 'artsy' stuff in the mix. However, it didn't seem like the tourists made it out, because we always get good sales from them as they buy our shoulder bags, wrap-skirts, fannypacks, etc. and that just didn't happen. Not too many people carrying bags, etc. and I don't think any vendor did exceptionally well.
After we closed down at 5:15, we headed down the street to the Main Street Grill for some of their great BBQ Ribs. Evey time we are in the area.... Morro Bay, Cambria, Arroyo Grande, we always come here. After we drove away from Cambria, we saw some sunshine about two miles down Highway One. Wow. Unbelievable.

Gas in Cambria was running from $4.69 to $4.89. I thought it would be cheaper in Atascadero and I gassed up at a Chevron station for $4.69. Shell was selling for the same price.
