| making our way down 3 miles of the beach to sand point. |
 |
| at times, hiking was slow because of trees that had washed up. |
 |
| nothing beats walking along tidal pools on a brisk washington-coastal morning! |
 |
| andrea looking for starfish and other aquatic creatures in a tide pool. |
 |
| at times we had to crawl over, or under, huge trees! |
 |
| we were surprised by how much plastic had washed up on the beaches. some folks created art-like scuptures next to their camps, we just realized, and felt guilty, of how much plastic we "consume" at home. |
 |
| at wedding rocks there are legended to be over 50 petraglyphs. we only found a few, but what we saw was impressive. |
 |
| this was our favorite 500 year old petraglyph! |
 |
| on the coast, you always have to be aware of the tides. at some points, the tide is so high that there are no beaches. the above marker is a 'hedland marker.' it marks an area that a hiker must leave the beach. |
 |
| deer shouldn't be on the beach; there's nothing for them! but we saw two! they hiked with us for a mile or so. |
 |
| a typical coastal rock/island/outcropping. |
 |
| at sand point and ready to leave the beach for a 3 mile hike through the woods to our car. |
 |
| andrea thought she'd be sly and sneak a kiss; i noticed it. :) notice the hedland marker in the back ground. we highly recommend this short hike for everyone. next time we make the trip we'll let folks know! |
