IMG 4239  COFFEE. IMG 4240  The site. IMG 4241  Go straight up from the left side mirror until you hit blue sky and tada, the only cell antenna for many many miles is right next to this campground. IMG 4242  A man once told me this waffle was good. He did not lie. IMG 4243  Benedict over there with the ham on the side. IMG 4244  +1 would eat again.
IMG 4245  Is this the hotel view for the premium rooms? Or is it the other side. IMG 4247  Off the other side of the lodge. IMG 4249  About as far as you can easily walk down from the lodge. IMG 4253  Bird caught a fishie. IMG 4255  These birds have an even more oceanfront home. Their restaurant is self serve though. IMG 4257  Bird with fish spent quite a bit of time hovering over this woman. Don't ask me why.
IMG 4261  One wonders if in 2025 this is an instagram thing that drives some amount of traffic to the lodge. IMG 4265  Places I like to go in the van. Figure A: Typical. IMG 4267  KT was there. IMG 4268  My next album cover. IMG 4269 IMG 4273  🧀
IMG 4274  Do not touch. IMG 4277  Lies! IMG 4278  Lumpy ocean is a panoramic giveaway. IMG 4280  A challenger appears. IMG 4283  Nice little keyhole view. IMG 4286  The only way to win is not to fight.
IMG 4287  We searched the other end of the beach looking for alleged tidepools so now we try this end too. IMG 4288  Genius Koba finds some fresh water. IMG 4289  Rocks? Yes. Tides? Yes. Tidepools? Not detected. IMG 4290  Tried to throw a stick here for Koba. Sticks also not found. Really should have brought a ball. IMG 4291  At least he got a good walk and some smells. IMG 4297
IMG 4301  Sea life (former) detected. IMG 4302  KT was there. IMG 4303  We have driven past here 473 times and now we decide to stop in. Free if you have a current campground pass at any state park! IMG 4304  Better idea. Me in the middle of the fort and KT on the outside! Nar. IMG 4306  Not a bad place to hang out if you are on cannon duty. IMG 4308
IMG 4309  We walk down to the beach in Sandy Cove IMG 4310  Folks are exiting with Kayaks. You can drive down here I think. IMG 4311  Koba like. And this time I brought a ball. IMG 4319  All for himself. IMG 4324  Ptui. IMG 4327  How Koba feels after a nice round of fetch from a calm beach.
IMG 4328  One for the sea oat fans. IMG 4330  Just checking to see if our neighborhood cell tower is still there. IMG 4334  Back we go for dinner. I had seen a table having burgers for dinner the night before. They were not on the dinner menu, so I gave the secret password. IMG 4335  Copycat got one too. IMG 4336  Fries were really good while they were hot. IMG 4337  After a wee remark about the burgers not being particularly medium rare, like we asked for them, we got the LOCAL'S DISCOUNT.
IMG 4338  Vinyl library in the lodge library has some lulus. IMG 4340  This seems to imply they have record players in the rooms? Interesting. IMG 4341  Yes it is that time again. IMG 4343 IMG 4344  How much a moon moves in 24 hours. IMG 4345  We enjoy the bounty of a clear night sky again.
IMG 4347 IMG 4348 IMG 4350  Starting to let the fire die down again. IMG 4351  Nuthin but coals now. IMG 4352  Enduring a bit of now biting cold to see the stars bloom. IMG 4353
