alan guest shot1  This place is crowded even in late October. Wait wasn't too long though. alan guest shot2  Still nice but you can feel the weather is changing. alan guest shot3 alan guest shot4  Under the canopy sheltering from the rain. craig guest shot1  Snug boi. IMG 0609  Clouds moving in.
IMG 0610  Dang raccoon is persistent. IMG 0611  Breakfast again. IMG 0616  Total logs chopped by Alan: 1 IMG 0617  OK IMG 0618  We check out the shady spot on the south end of the beach. IMG 0619  People were staking this spot out to sit and watch.
IMG 0620 IMG 0636 IMG 0642 IMG 0645 IMG 0647  We check out the north end of the beach. Sandy but not much dry ground at high tide. IMG 0648  Left shoe got overrun by a wave moving faster than expected.
IMG 0649  Asking apple maps for directions to this place will send you to a similarly named spot near Mono Lake. IMG 0650 IMG 0651 IMG 0652  I already had cake. Nice to have options though. IMG 0653 IMG 0654  Chicken fried steak.
IMG 0655  Huevos I think. IMG 0657  Travel the world and try all the benedicts. IMG 0658  Cake sized pancakes. IMG 0659  Clean plate again. IMG 0660  Never have I wanted to touch something so much. IMG 0661  Nothing exceeds like excess.
IMG 0662  Headlands trails. IMG 0663  Stairs to the beach not too sketch. IMG 0664 IMG 0668  A very photographed arch. IMG 0670 IMG 0671
IMG 0672 IMG 0674 IMG 0675  Looked these up later and apparently they would tie lines to these from ships in the water and use them to move cargo. Given the churning water and the rocks that seems sort of crazy but OK historical people. IMG 0676 IMG 0678  Marine layer and fog have moved in. IMG 0679  Out.
IMG 0682 IMG 0693  Bit the stick in half. IMG 0698  Sun fighting to get through. Don't forget sunscreen on days like this, kids! IMG 0704  Long dog, is long. IMG 0706  Mleh. IMG 0707  Alan wishes he had a fat bike.
IMG 0708  The log did OK as a table but was a bit high risk for spillage. This picture reminded me to order a little camp table already. IMG 0709  Are those berries edible? IMG 0711  This is not a thing I'd ever heard of. "Edible but less palatable than proper strawberries." I did not try myself. IMG 0713  Dusty doggo. IMG 0714  Did we all get this? No, just 3 out of 4. IMG 0715  Catch of the day was Black Cod. It was very tender and good.
IMG 0716 IMG 0717  The apple dessert that Alan had been waiting for since yesterday. IMG 0718  Will need to remember this place. No Michelin stars but nicer than Pattersons Pub. IMG 0720  A descendant of Prometheus. IMG 0721  Fire o'clock. IMG 0723  We got about 10 minutes of this before the rain moved in.
IMG 0724 IMG 0726  8'x12' canopy saves the day. Everyone stayed dry while we enjoyed a campfire. IMG 0727 IMG 0728  This stuff was pretty good.
