Yesterday when we went, we came early in the day and brought a picnic lunch. When we arrived, the tide was very low, so we got to investigate the tide pools.
This was last weekend -- you can see how clear it was.
The trails are very steep.
Yesterday -- there was lots of parking down by the beach, and we even got our own picnic table.
SEAWEEEEEEED!
You see how the sky is all grey? That's not fog -- it's smog. The air quality has been horrendous here, with winds pushing smoke down from wildfires in Canada, then that air getting trapped. There's one little valley I drive through everyday going to work, and Thursday you couldn't look across the valley and see the hills on the other side. I had never seen that before.
The husband climbed to the top of the rope climb-y thing, 'cuz he could.
Eatin' lunch -- hotdogs, chips, and grapes. We cooked the hotdogs at home and packed them in a cooler to keep warm -- it was a good thing, too, since fires are not allowed right now.
