I, like many FMers have a usually place we frequent over and over, some may go to Yosemite, some may go to Death Valley, or the Red Woods, or the waterfalls of Oregon. I usually end up hitting up the beaches of the Central Coast. I've shot up and down the coast from Big Sur to the dunes of Guadalupe. One place that I always seem to go back to is Montaņa de Oro State Park. I was at the point of knowing it intimately, knowing where to go per the lighting conditions and ive gotten most of my best shots there. I am intimate with it....

or so I thought...

Enter the Point Buchon trail. a section of trail maintained by the local power company as there is a Nuclear Power plant on this property. The trail is open from 8am - 4pm leaving no time for good light. a check in and waiver signing is required to walk the trail...

ITS A TEASE OF A TRAIL!!

there are more Sea Arches on this trail than i have seen anywhere. gorgeous arches on every point and massive clusters of sea stacks everywhere. So i got in as soon as the trail opened and before the fog burned off.

Tyler,

On man what a tease!!! It's too bad restrictions do not allow for better light photography. There could be some killer stuff to be had! Have you thought about sending a letter to the plant and asking nicely if you would be permitted to go during outside of sign posted hours? It's a long shot but you never know.

Hey Tyler,

Yeah, I have hiked that trail. It is a real shame that it has such limited hours. Your shot looks great with the B&W. And the two cell shots are quite the tease.

Montana de Oro is my favorite part of the Central Coast.
