 Always a great place to eat and a great, albeit short, roughly 45 minutes, ride from San Luis Obispo. The Pozo Saloon was established in 1858. It was Ynocente Garcia that originally established the Rancho San Jose which included today's Pozo. When in 1878 gold was discovered in La Panza and Pozo grew into the hub of the area. Back then there were three saloons, general stores, two hotels and all the amenities of a small town. Today all that stands are the few homes and ranches and of course the Pozo Saloon offering up some fine food, and on the weekends fine entertainment. Willie Nelson, Dwight amenities, Snoop Dogg and this August 21st Trace Adkins will be there. Now it gets a might warm there in the summer as you can see from the photo below; but the beer is cold and the food is great!
 So how do you get there? Pozo is about a 40 minute ride from San Luis Obispo. Where is San Luis Obispo? Half way between Los Angeles and San Francisco on the Central Coast - 202 miles north of LA. From SLO take highway 101 north to Highway 58 pass through the small town of Santa Margarita and on to Pozo. Some good twisties and sweepers on the way between Santa Margarita and Pozo. Scenes along the way: above the Mission in San Luis Obispo and below Hwy 58 on the way to Pozo  The early years in downtown Pozo PRODUCT REVIEW: RED OXX MFG  Established in 1986 and hand made in Montana perhaps the premier manufacture of the best travel gear period! I have been using Red Oxx bags for years now. For the 4Runner adventures I have the Red Oxx Expedition Series. Now some may balk at the price; but these are the last bags you will ever purchase. Jim has designed just about anything you might require in soft luggage from SAFARI TRAVEL LUGGAGE, BRIEFCASES, BACKPACKS, AIRLINE CARRY-ON LUGGAGE AND RIFLE CASES; plus a wide array of accessories.  Above: Red Oxx Large Expedition Series $295.00
 Above is the Extra Small Aviator Bag. On the left is the full line of AVIATOR BAGS, the Extra Small on the right. As you can see from the "stuffed" photo above it holds a lot! As Red Oxx says, this series was developed for the budget minded; but don't let that fool you there is nothing "cheap" in this bag. Same sturdy materials are used as in the other bags from 1000 weight CORDURA Brand Nylon to the heavy duty hardware, YKK sippers Other uses for this bag range from Highway Emergency kit, CPAP carry bag, Helmet storage;. Folds flat so you can carry it with you and fill it with souvenirs on the return. Should you be in the market for travel bags take the time to scroll through the pages at Red Oxx. Lots of gear and some great reading as well. Visit Red Oxx Mfg website for the full catalog: www.redoxx.com See You Down The Road
