Land locked Goose Barnacles |
Back to the ocean for a hike. The ocean beach makes a great tick free
hike. There is even a bit of solitude in
the stretches that are from the parking
areas. I like to park at Twin Harbors
State park and then walk to Westport.
We
have lunch at the Westport Museum. We
used to lunch on the sidewalk benches but got tired of people staring at us
like we were hobos with our day packs. Rich people who do this hike could eat at a restaurant in Westport.
The hike is 10 miles
round trip. We don’t normally get a lot
sand in our shoes but we do catch the sun.
We have to wear sunscreen for this hike. A lot of interesting stuff had washed
ashore recently so we had plenty to look at and take pictures of.
The highlight of the day was seeing a seal pup on the
beach. The pup was so cute I just wanted
to poke it and squeeze it to death. I might
bring a camera with a long lens next time I do this. I could not stay a respectful distance from
the pup and still get a good picture, so I have no good pictures of it.
The weather was nice, not to hot, not too cold and not too
windy.
