Checked into Huntington Beach Lifeguard Station 17
A major getting away from the house for the first time in a long time. We’d wanted to do Gerrish for the summer and it was supposed to open on July 7th, but we opted against it. This is a small consolation.

Fortunately seems pretty quiet early in the morning, so physical distancing isn’t difficult and there’s lots of fresh air.

Read Billionaire relents, kicks open his gate to popular Martins Beach by Peter Fimrite (SFGate)
A billionaire landowner who had blocked access to a beach near Half Moon Bay opened the gate leading to the sandy shore Wednesday, two days after legal papers were filed demanding he comply with a court order. The decision by venture capitalist Vinod Khosla to finally allow the public to use the only road leading to picturesque Martins Beach was touted as a victory for surfers and sunbathers, but lawyers say it probably isn't the end of a decade-long battle over the sandy cove.
Oh, the never-ending battle between public beaches and rich people along the California coast.

They didn’t do a very good job describing the subtleties of the situation and the law here though.
