Super-long Hike

I was so excited this morning! We were going on a hike!! Yay! Which involved a car ride... and as we were driving along, I saw this sign... (I think there are going to be some Jerry nose-prints on the computer screen)... Yes! There is a honey place near here. But did we stop? Nooooo!!!!

Phooie... Mama said we had to maximize the short daylight hours and get hiking... sigh... OK... if we have to!

Oh, it's nice here... and sunny too, which is good.

There's the trail starting point...

Huh... I am not a pet so this doesn't apply to me!

And we are hiking...

Oh... nice view over the water!

It is so fun to be by the ocean, there are so may interesting things to see.

Like this weird erosion pattern in the rock...

And look! It is a beached jellyfish.

It was still moving a little bit...

So Mama flipped it in to the water with her shoe... maybe it will make it?

Those are log booms out there... with seagulls squawking up a storm.

Can you guess what this tower is?

It's a light beacon with solar power...

The seagulls are beary standoffish here...

This is what we came to see! This is a narrow passage between two islands and when the tides are changing, you can get a 6-8 knot current running through here. It can be fun going through with the current... not so fun in the other direction!

We watched some seagulls float down with the tidal current... they were having fun!

Oh and do you see??? Way up in that tree??? It's a bald eagle!

That's supposed to be a good omen when you see one... means all is well in your world...

But you still have to watch where you are walking! Luckily these are not abyss fissures like that other hike!

This log must have escaped from the log boom corral...

Whew... that was a super-long hike and I am one tuckered out little bear! Time for a nap in the back of the truck... Those shopping bags sure make a soft... zzzzz.....
