Monterey ~ Garrapata State Park

On our last day we decided to go on another hike (more like walk) along the coastline.  It was a beautiful day, but really windy.  Unfortunately, I decided to not use the restroom before we left because I thought there would be bathrooms there.  Once we got there we found a port-a-potty, but Rich let me know it was disgusting.  Fortunately, I have a strong bladder, but we did have to end our time walking around earlier than wanted.  I think one day we will go back and explore the area more.  There are trails along the coast, but also a trail that goes up the hillside.  I would like to explore both areas.

We decided to set-up the tripod so we could get a picture together.  After we took the picture I noticed I was wearing my Nightmare Before Christmas gloves.  They look a little freaky, but they are perfect for photography in cold areas.  The fingertips are cut off and allow me to operate my camera and stay warm.

Rich is a tiny blue dot on top of the rocks.

I thought the clouds rolling over the hills looked pretty cool.

This is probably my favorite picture.  Rich spotted these lilies off the trail a bit.
