This area was a favorite site of traders coming to load ships or ships trading along the coast.

Fresh water, easy access to the ocean and great weather probably made this a favorite living area.

Park by the windmill just north of Cayucos and follow the trail to the ocean. Along the edge of the bluffs you'll find these holes, where grain was ground by the Chumash Indians.

I'm still looking into the full story, but supposedly a sweat lodge was located on the top of this hill for the men.
