John had the pork roast smoking by 655 am today. Our friends Cats and John took us to a secluded overlook for happy hour and sunset tonight here at the park.
Cat's and John. John, Cats and John with a beer in the sunset.
Sunset was stunning.
Post sunset with the moon in the left corner. Post sunset viewers.
Wildlife seen tonight. a deer watching sunset with us and a feral sheep on the cliffs above the ocean. There is a flock of feral sheep here on the beach.
Today we hiked with Cats and John down to the Sixes river estuary and back along the beach. Light behind an old growth sitka spruce tree. The view looking down on where we will go. It was sunny, high 50's and no wind, perfect weather.
The Sixes river entering the ocean. Looking back up valley at the smoke.
Coming through the rushes to the beach. Black sand and sea stacks.
John, John and Cats in the haze ahead of me. Lunch on the beach on the huge logs that are drift wood here. Cats and John brought home made bread, cheese, salami, hummes, and some of last night smoked pork. It was a feast.
The view from lunch. Light in the trees, wind tracks in the sand, the beach was not sand, but these very tiny, just a bit bigger than sand polished rocks. There were these huge polished green serpentine boulders covered with barnacles.
Barnacles, a sea star wrapped around the corner and barnacles on a piece of wood.
John tidepooling. Cats and John in the tide pools.
A eyelash pool, colorful snails and anemones in the tide pools. The cove as we headed back up to the cape.
Waves of fog rolled in over the cape as we watched. A hermit crab lives in this turban snail shell, beach flowers- scotch broom, pansey and a yellow flower.
John, Cats and John by the cliff, with a view of fog instead of ocean, looking down the cliff from where they were standing. We headed back into the thick maritime forest.
Fog in the forest.
