We planned our adventure and it bit us in the ass, okay, not literally but our plan was to go hang out at Barney Schwartz Park on the east side of Paso Robles but the Lord of the Wind said heck no.<\/p>\n

First let me begin with how cool this park is, there are baseball fields, soccer fields, kids playgrounds, walking paths, covered seating areas to eat and hang out, and a man made little lake that you can fish in. Wow\u2026why haven\u2019t we hung out here before? Not sure, but this will be remedied! Thank you, Barney Schwartz!\u00a0<\/p>\n

So we had packed a picnic and grabbed our baseball gloves to play catch as well as our whiffle balls and bat to mess around with\u2026whiffle ball in howling wind = no way! We did a quick walk around to see all this park had to offer and make plans for future visits but then we hopped back in the truck and took off.<\/p>\n

Rather than cry a river (a little Justin Timberlake tribute) we decided to head out on a drive and see where we would end up. After taking many lefts and rights on some beautiful country roads we ended up covering the east side\u2019s of Paso Robles, Atascadero, and Santa Margarita\u2026some truly beautiful scenery out there this time of year!!<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve done the \u201cdriving adventures\u201d before and we really love them, of course, it helps to live in an area like San Luis Obispo County because there are endless country roads that will lead you to absolutely gorgeous scenery\u2026rolling hills, trees, wild flowers, huge green meadows, and mountainous areas that give you views for days!<\/p>\n

Adventure is all about being adaptable and taking things as they come. It\u2019s something I (Hoot) have not been good at until recently. I always wanted everything planned out because I was afraid of having to make choices on the fly\u2026but now it\u2019s one of the most exciting things about life! You can fight life or embrace it\u2026live the adventure folks!!<\/p>\n\n\n
