Trail mix Check out the SLO County Parks and Recreation Department s trail map at gis.slocounty.ca.gov/parks/#/parks-trails-map for information about local hiking trails. For general county park and hiking information, visit slocountyparks.com. Ask any SLO County resident what they love most about living on the Central Coast, and their response will likely point to the region s vast amount of open space and the gorgeous weather. The appreciation for outdoor recreation was reinvigorated last year when the public health crisis resulted in stay-at-home orders that effectively closed entertainment and restaurant industries; the orders also came with a recommendation to get outside at a safe distance from others.
–Just in time for Valentine’s Day, the Charles Paddock Zoo is offering a unique way to show your true affection with “Adopt-A-Cockroach.” Through Monday, Feb. 15, you can give that special someone in your life their very own cockroach! Adopt a Madagascar Hissing Cockroach from the zoo as a new and fun way to express your love, or perhaps lack thereof.
For $5, you will receive an official certificate of adoption that will include your special Valentine’s name, to give them this year for Valentine’s Day. Then, you can tune in to the zoo’s social media on Feb. 14 to watch the meerkats enjoying some of the cockroaches, for a very special treat!
–The week before Christmas, the community got an early gift at a local fishing spot.
“Fish and Wildlife planted between 700-1000 sterile trout into Atascadero Lake,” says Nancy Hair with the Friends of the Atascadero Lake. “This is the third fish plant this year. Fish and Wildlife want to increase fishing opportunities for families here in San Luis Obispo County.”
The limit on catching fish is five per person and a fishing license is required for those over 16 years old. Atascadero Lake is a 30-acre reservoir located at Atascadero Lake Park, 9305 Pismo Ave., Atascadero.
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife advises, “Trout fishing can be a safe outdoor activity that maintains physical distancing from others as we work to minimize transmission of COVID-19. Anglers must make sure to stay six feet from anyone not in their same household, wear a face mask, wash hands with soap and water whenever possible, follow all fishing regulations, and stay safe.”
