People around here tend to rag on Lompoc, but those who do tend not to have visited in the last 5-10 years or more. It's now got a number of local/biodynamic/organic wineries, at least one brewpub, and a few really good restaurants.

And -- anywhere that's mid-sixties in SoCal in July is alright in my book.


San Miguelito Road, on the edge of Vandenberg AFB. More like 60 degrees in the clouds/fog at the top of the hill (or at least the top that the public can get to!)
