2021 Saturday — A Volcanic Plug

We were out for a Saturday afternoon drive and looking for a place to walk the pups when we stopped at this location just to look.

From Wikipedia:
“Morro Rock is a volcanic plug in Morro Bay, California, on the Pacific Coast at the entrance to Morro Bay harbor. A causeway connects it with the shore, making it a tied island. The rock is protected as the Morro Rock State Preserve.”

“Running along the Los Osos Valley in San Luis Obispo, California, is a string of nine volcanic plugs sacred to the Chumash and Salinan indigenous peoples of that area. The Morros, as the small string of peaks is called, run southeast to northwest and end with Morro Rock in Morro Bay. The rock was at one time completely surrounded by water but was periodically quarried from 1891 to 1968; a causeway and breakwater were built from the rocks and sediment, connecting Morro Rock to the mainland.”
