Ava got all excited about seeing a beach - Beach 2 by name - right on the Pacific coast after our rain forest hikes.Well, it was another hike. On an Indian reservation with minimal improvements the trail went up, then down, then up again over a ridge.
As you can see it was an old-growth forest full of fern and moss and really dark and dank - but beautiful.
Then you break out of the trees and see - an amazing rocky, log-strewn, wide flat beach.
Not like our So Tx beach, to be sure but there were a lots of beachwalkers and even a few hardy souls who had set up a beach camp.
Wanna try this beach, Dennis, for your next beach camp?
As you can see from the logs strewn about and the wave-chewed promontory this is no beach for the faint-hearted, or a winter campout - when most of their storms toss these logs up against the bluff.
Does it look a bit cool and wintery? It was - and this is in mid-July!
One of my best pics ever.
Ava is sending her greetings to you all from this special beach - one about as far north and west as you can go and actually find one to walk on in the 'lower 48'!
