Santa Margarita is a lovely, small town on the old El Camino Real (“The Kings Highway”), and it still retains it’s western motif. It's nestled at the northern base of the Cuesta Grade. We're looking West at 3 pm. The densely forested hills (mostly coastal and valley Oaks) flow West about 18 miles from here to Morro Bay. As I stand there painting, it’s easy to slip back in time and imagine donkeys and wagons moving along the El Camino Real between Mexico and San Francisco. You can almost hear their gear rattling and small talk amongst the travelers.
