The Paddling Pushers visited Point Reyes on January 18 and it felt like a summer day. Families were playing on beautiful, sunny Drakes Beach and it did not take long to layer down to t shirts while we hiked. We got there early and while most of the group headed to the lighthouse I took off pretty much on my own to the elephant seal look out and to hike Chimney Rock. I was rewarded with a very quiet and peaceful hike as the only other folks there were the docents setting up their scopes.
Elephant seals were everywhere! I almost climbed over one blocking the road thinking it was a fallen tree. Such funny looking, strangely beautiful creatures.
Enjoying the Olympics, go USA!
