Placed by MCJONES on Sept 29, 2002 at Montana de Oro on the Bluff Walk, (San Luis Obispo County). Easy, slight incline hike, (NO dogs, Yes children). Watch for Snakes and Lions!

WHAT IS a BIMMER OH-2' In 1971, Road & Track chose it best in class in their roundup of the world's best cars. It was joined that year by the better-handling (thanks to wider wheels, bigger tires and better brakes), fuel-injected 2002tii model (the second i was for injection) We love our funny car and they are still used for racing!

Directions
Take your vintage BMW or buy one or another reliable vehicle that is greener than a Prius from being maintained for years and years... and drive past Spooner's Cove and the Visitor's Center to the end of the road, there is parking and a restroom. Take the wide single track trial to the water and –not the marked COON trail inland. When you reach the water turn left and go to the fence with many warnings. At the base of the third large wooden fence pole from the water, there is BMW 02' under some dead grass and dirt. There is foot a path you will not trample any fragile anything. There is Poison Oak along the trail but not anywhere near the box. There is one lonely prickly cactus on your side of the fence but it is not close to the fence. Be discrete, most folks go `right' at the ocean but as this is the perimeter of a nuclear power plant and granted authorities may be nervous.

This is a really lovely place and sometimes the power plant is open, You can walk further if you are so inclined all along the cliff tops. Poppy's are in full bloom around March.

Here are some links.
