Life of Wry

Judy and I had another great day on the coast, today hiking to the very end of the Pt. Reyes National Seashore. See that dot? That is us!

This is the Tomales Point trail. it’s about a 5 mile hike out to that point (10 miles round trip).

Jim and I hiked to the point either last year or the year before. It was spectacular then, it was spectacular today! It’s cool because you can look across Tomales Bay and see Dillon Beach; it’s a great perspective. You get great views of the Pacific Ocean and the bay — today along flower covered trails. Some uppy/downy, some deep sand, some elk, lotsa birds (seagulls, cormorants, crows, pelicans, smaller ones), lotsa beetles (ick), two snakes, hopefully no ticks.

Here are a whole lot of pics of flowers:

This is a view of the point from far away. We will navigate through those flowers, picking our way along paths covered in overgrown tangles of lupine, thistles, poppies and a few others.

Here are a bunch of fauna… zoom in on the male elk… those racks!

Here we are at the point… so dramatic!

This is the pile of sand I poured out of my boots after we’d passed the worst of the deep sand ..

Got home, got cleaned up (big job!) and had this for dinner… SO GOOD!
