I'm now in Pismo! I found internet access at our campground, so I will keep in touch here in our trailer! But anyway, I brought my camera that I won at the Jog-a-thon rally, and I took pictures of our tour at hearse castle!! This castle is HUUUUUGGGEE!!!!!!!!!!
To the right is a picture of the enormous property!! It takes 20 minutes on the tour bus that takes us up there, to get to the top of the thousands of acres of property!!!!!!!!
This is the main castle that is built with reinforced concrete made to withstand an 8.5
We were walking on paths with real GOLD tiles!!!
These are pictures of the way up on the bus. That log cabin is not open to the public, but it was the SHED!! Like a tool shed! But the estate was filled with animals from elephants to llamas to cheetas and lions!!! They're not visible as much anymore, though. Mr. Hearse had the largest collection of animals in his own Zoo in the world!!!!!!!!!! Even polar bears!! He once had Polar bears!!
The estate was given to the public because it was too expansive for the inheriting family to manage!! Awesome!!!! Mr. Hearse had some 17 WIVES!!! ( That's just not right... :/ ) How was he sooooo rich?????
Mr. Hearse owned 17 NEWSPAPERS, 2 MOVIE STUDIOS, HE OWNED METRO (MGM), AND 5 OTHER COMPANIES THAT I FORGOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
; )
Well, my first day in Pismo was tight! How will tomorrow turn out?????????? Well, I'll bring my camera and post tomorrow!!
This is Gabe, signing out from Pismo!!

I love this tour! They have a tour at Christmas, a night tour with all of the lights, and four different day tours... which one did you go on? Do you remember?
Only it is Hearst not Hearse...
He used to have huge parties up at the castle for all the movie people. Anyway they used to drive up Highway One to get there and would stop in Pismo as a pit stop. When Scrambles was called Scrambles they have photo's of the stars at the restaurant and in and around Pismo.
Glad that you are having a good time!
