There are a lot of these old water towers around the village. This one was converted into an art studio. We had a very nice lunch at Lu's Kitchen. It's difficult to find if you're looking for it since it's in the back yard of a music shop with only a small sign out front and no obvious way to get to the place. We looked out the window of the music shop and saw some exciting looking food. Obviously we were ready for lunch. We shared a nice burrito and a pesto quesadilla. It was all vegetarian but very good all the same.
We continued down Highway one to Manchester Beach State Park for the night. This park isn't too exciting but, like all the parks the last few days, has it's own character. The beach is quite a distance away and is difficult to get down to. There is a 15 foot buff that is constant along the whole beach. There are a couple of places where sand is piled up a ways and logs and notches cut into the bluff where it is possible to get up and down. We enjoyed a nice sunset.
Our campsite.
An interesting finding here. We saw a big building next to the park and what looked like a wooden water tower. Our curiosity required we check it out. The sign out front said Manchester Cable Station. I checked the web and found out it is the landing point for cables from Hawaii. This point is evidently the closest point to Hawaii from the west coast. Interesting.
