Beware of ghosts near Monterey's Old Fisherman's Wharf. This outdoor photo opportunity is a low-risk holiday activity. Get more safe Halloween ideas at http://covid19.ca.gov/holidays. And remember, no costume is complete without a mask.

Monterey County Convention & Visitors Bureau, in partnership with Arts Council for Monterey County, commissioned local artists to create inspirational Monterey County moments that will be printed on reusable masks. And the winner is...Jose Ortiz's Salinas Valley Farmworkers - inspired by the pride his mother had working as part of the ground lettuce crews in Salinas. Get your free mask at select visitor centers starting November 9. Visit https://www.seemonterey.com/monterey-moments-art-submissions/ for details and locations.

They picked up 25 pounds of trash composed largely of small plastics and cigarette filters. The residents (both topside and underwater) say thank YOU!
