That slug is disgusting. But thanks for reminding me of that area. It's been awhile since I visited Morro Bay and Atascadero. I still remember the little zoo in Atascadero with the screaming monkeys that went off every few minutes like clockwork.
I thought those slugs were farther north and in wetter areas. I've seen them in Portland, Redwoods and of course Santa Cruz. I even have one on my UCSC t-shirt.

That slug is awesome! We just got back from a wine tasting trip to Paso. I wanted to squeeze in a hike Cerro Alto while were there, but my wife had other plans. I'll get back there next year. I hope I see a slug.
