Then, fire! This was a first for myself and Erin- a campfire on the beach!! We almost got it started with a flint, but -alas- we had to resort to good old lighters. About a mile south of where we live is an open beach where you can drive your vehicle, and start fires. The regulations are a little more relaxed as it’s more off the beaten path. Plus, it’s free for anyone to use. We walked, carrying all our wood and supplies, since this activity involved cider that Erin and Jen had picked up earlier while visiting SLO.
