Backpacking along the the coast
    #5455001 - 03/29/06 12:32 PM (17 years, 9 months ago)

Last weekend I got some time off to test a backpack and headed out towards the coast.  I ended up at Pt. Reyes National Seashore in less than ideal conditions.  Fortunetly it didn't really rain on us on the way out to our first camp.  The next day was beautiful, warm, and clear... something that has been in short supply lately here (its rained 23 out of the 29 days in march so far!)





This is the "divide meadow" a giant lush meadow about halfway from the trailhead to the ocean.  Its a great place to stop for a few minutes, smoke some pot and munch down some grub.




This is Glen camp (the park is pretty regulated as far as camping, notice bear lockers and tables in a backpacking camp, heh).  This is where I learned how fricken cool it is to just have a little candle to burn after it gets dark (fires are prohibited)!




This looked like a prehistoric, steaming bog... use your imagination, the picture doesn't do it true justice hehe.



enjoying the scenery of a beautiful Sunday afternoon on the way out to wildcat camp.



A glimpse through a clearing of the beach and the ocean... ooOooOo




Heres another shot from further down





heres an example of a stream created by the enormous amount of runoff from all the rain.  It made for a fun ledge to leap off of. :smile:




We saw a waterfall down the coast, unfortunetly it was not nearly as close as it seemed.. but it was worth it once we were there.



:smile:



ahh, the sunset





sunset, fire, friends





Heres the storm rolling in... at this point the winds were strong enough to catch our backpacks like windsails and nudge us off the trail.  about 10 minutes later it started raining.

camping is a passion :smile:

Looks like a damn good time to me. Sorry I didn't get back to you on the Death Valley info, but your trip looked better anyway. Death Valley has some nice areas to hike but it is best explored in a 4X4 vehicle. I'd love to take a backpacking trip to the ocean! That looks like it was an amazing time.

Looks like a great time. I love the Northern California coast. I gotta get back down that way again sometime.
