Hi Steve, The records for the time period that you are seeking are housed at the archive on Horta. You won't find them on Pico. The address is here: http://homepage.mac.com/kmacardoza/Genealogy/genresources.html
There are some other online sources for Pico as well. I'll let the Pico researchers tell you all about them. Arroyo Grande and Avila Beach are very close to one another. I think both are San Luis Obispo County in California.
