Cape Alava, day 3 (of 4) - Tidepools

Woke up (amazing how each day starts with the same activity...waking up), ate breakfast set about our day.  It's funny when you camp on a beach...it makes the decisions for day hiking much easier.  Let's see, here, yesterday we went South, how about today we go, er, uh North?  Yes?  North it is!  Little did we know that we'd hit the area "just right" (at low tide) and have a blast exploring all of the tidepools.


My higlight was arriving at a little cove; Dave, Kath and Julie all took a brief rest while I set out to explore the point, solo.  I noodled around all of the tidepools for awhile and finally came around to the point and was shocked to see it open up with a HUGE bed of muscles.  They were everywhere!  The muscles were most plentiful where the waves were the largest.  It was really cool to see!

After our little day-hike, we lit another fire; this one the biggest yet.  Kathryn really wanted to see if she could start a fire on her own so after Julie and Dave got the "one-match" fire going, Kath lit one of her own.  Eventually, the two fires melded into one.

We were treated to another beautiful sunset as the sun dipped below the clouds/fog.  Another great day.
