Oxpedition: Santa Cruz

Last week's Oxpedition took us south to Santa Cruz for three days of beach camping at Waddell Creek Beach and surfing at Steamers Lane. For many of the students, it was their first time on the Pacific Coast Highway and the weather and views did not disappoint as we passed through Pacifica to rent surfboards and wetsuits on our way to the campsite outside Davenport. Once there, we settled among the pines and ice plants with a bonfire and enjoyed the luxuries of car camping (no dehydrated humus, like in Point Reyes). Throughout the next two days, students explored the surrounding area, hiked through Big Basin State Park, searched for drinking and cooking water in various Santa Cruz locales, and hit the beaches and waves.

Props to all the first time surfers and everyone who came on this adventure:
