nittwitt ridgeRoad trip this past weekend to Cambria and San Luis Obispo.  I had watched tv one day last week and was flipping the channels and saw an interesting house.  It was hosted by Huell Howser, he was filming a segment on Nit Wit Ridge in Cambria.  I found it very interesting and I thought why not take a trip to see this Historical Landmark, it was only $10 per adult.  The tour started at 1:00, we were greeted by one of the owners.  This house was created in the 20’s by Arthur Harold Beal (Tinkerpaw or Capt. Nitt Witt).  It was created and built from cement and found objects like beer cans, toilet seats, and abalone shells, washer machines, anything you can possibly think of.  I mean the whole house was built only by himself and it is three stories, and the stairs are endless, he had I think a couple of acres.  It does not look much from front, but, it is very interesting  inside and in back, well, it’s just crazy!  If your into that sort of stuff, I recommend it!

I also recommend the clam chowder bread bowls at the Moonstone Beach Bar and Grill!mmmmmmmm!
