Kennedy Meadows Where it all began 2016+
I believe I was just eight years old when we first went to Kennedy Meadows. As my family was into outdoor camping, we had been to many wonderful and beautiful places, especially in Canada. But there was something different about this place. We stayed at one of the private cabins across the Stanislaus River from the campgrounds, which became our summer hangout with tons of great memories. Fishing, rafting the river (kind-of), fishing, hiking and most of all soaking in the fresh air and scenery. I guess the beauty of the area gets you first and then it slowly creeps under your skin and becomes a need to fulfill year after year.

Año Nuevo Just Down the Road 2021+
We moved to Half Moon Bay in 1997 and took us over 12 years before we realized there was a one-of-a-kind nature preserve just down the road, Año Nuevo. One of the breeding grounds and colony of the Northern Elephant Seal was a 30 minute drive down the coast. I became aware by frequenting Raman's Coffee Shop for my daily dose of authentic Indian Chai Tea by listening in on a conversation of regulars, one of whom happened to be a docent. It was all I needed to peak my curiosity and off Betsey and I went to see what it was all about, and 16 years later we still visit every year.

Blue Angels October Fleet Week
We are fortunate to live in the Bay Area and get a treat each year with Fleet Week. The Blue Angels show up a few days early and shake, rattle and roll the town just practicing and then bring it on full bore over the weekend. It is always a good excuse to head to our secret spot where we see the spectacular performances right at bayside while taking in our gourmet picnic lunch. And the best part, we are not paying $200+ to have the primo seats.

This is a start of a new series of trip reports focusing on fishing. Over the years have done my fair share and will expand this to include future and past trips not accounted for in other sections in this site.

Half Moon Bay Coastside Thru the Years
Sometimes, you forget about the beauty and wonder the exists in your backyard. I am guilty of this. On this page I will pick seven images each year that have not been published elsewhere on the zScapes site, as I explore the world around me. The intent is to bring out a bit of 'local' for your enjoyment!
