Jan 8 2011 Saturday Night
So we've hunkered in for the night...free camping along 101-S. An exciting Saturday night, but tomorrow morning we'll be drinking our chai (with some wild ginger root gathered from the forest floor) while enjoying a gorgeous view of the Pacific Ocean. From camp, we also have a view of Humbug Mountain, 1, 748 ft. We hiked it in a hurry this afternoon in anticipation of stunning views...to no avail. The summit view was obstructed by treetops(bummer)...bushwhacking was out of the question, but entertained briefly. We got a few peek-a-boo views along the way though. The forest was so peaceful, lush and green: large doug firs, myrtlewood, western hemlock trees, atleast 6 varieties of ferns, huge rhododendrens...and lots of other plant life--the botanist can fill you in with more detail. We got back to the van just before dark...starving, cold but not wet from rain. It was a beautiful day on the coast...SUNSHINE and temps in the 50s! pretty sweet for these parts this time of year. Signing off. Good Night.
