IMG 0729  50% chance of 0.20" of rain at 4:00AM they said. It was chucking it down at 6:00AM and woke me up. Showers kept up until after we left around noon. IMG 0730  That's a lot of water in there. Same in each corner. IMG 0731  Boiling water inside this morning. IMG 0732  Breakfast on the Lagun table. Good call making the effort to set it up this week. IMG 0733  It's like this around here.

IMG 0735 IMG 0736  Lunchtime. IMG 0737  A wild Alan appears. IMG 0738  So many wet tents getting packed up today. IMG 0740  After a couple hours of driving through white-out conditions on Hwy 1, we are in Bodega Bay for lunch. Had to skip Cafe Aquatica in Jenner because there was nowhere to park! IMG 0741  The Birds movie would have been more historically accurate if the birds were Grackles.
IMG 0742  After lunch we backtracked a few miles to a beach we had not hit before. IMG 0743  The bottom of this stairway is missing. I could scramble it but getting back up with the dog would be sketchy. IMG 0744  This was the other half of the beach with the "good" stairs. IMG 0745  Rough surf today on Carmet Beach. Koba just backed away from the last wave to break. IMG 0753  The one piece of driftwood on the whole beach. IMG 0754
IMG 0755 IMG 0756 IMG 0757  Got home and unloaded the van and left this open to dry out. The smoke fumes on this thing filled the whole house for two days.
