Saw some bigass pumpkins, as expected. Also the HMB HS band played, and they sound pretty good.
Only took film pics, so you guys have to wait a bit to see them :)
Afterwards we (my son & I) went down to Pescadero and paddled around the marsh with folding kayaks (Tucktec).
You're allowed to do that, but only seasonally, and the season is the chillier times of year. So basically it's late fall or early spring, unless you're a real die-hard and don't mind boating in cold weather.
They also make no particular effort to make it *easy* to get a boat into the water. There's an official "boat launch" area but it's overgrown, with poison oak no less. So if you want to do it, you pretty much have to lug a boat about half a mile along a highway. These folding boats have shoulder straps and are made for this sort of situation, so it works out.
