We walked the campground beach in the morning and watched the
fog lift.
In the afternoon, we looked back at that beach from a
roadside viewpoint.
Barbara dropped Bill off at the Cape Trail with the intent
that Bill would hike to the viewpoint at the end of the cape and back (4.8
miles), then hike the trail back to the campground (2.3 miles). Here is Bill at
the viewpoint.
The Cape Trail has a handful of places where it pops out to
the edge of the cliff. This is the beach south of Cape
Lookout.
At this same place, gray whales were surfacing below the
cliff and Bill saw the entire whale as it skimmed below the surface of the
water. Can you see the whale in this
picture?
The hike had an unexpected challenge – the trail back to the
campground was closed due to a damaged footbridge. No cell service at the campground to call
Barbara, so it took a bit of road walking and guessing where to connect back to
the trail to make it “home.” :-)
In the meantime, Barbara sat by the ocean reading and
working on her Bible study.
The day ended taking pictures as the sun set over the
Pacific.
