ack to my travels! A couple months back Patrick, Ian, and I went camped at the Lost Coast. It was about an hour and a half drive of windy roads south from here. We only stayed one night but the trip was awesome. We stayed at a campground on the beach just outside of a small town called Petrolia and then we trugged through the sandy beaches to get to the Lighthouse. You see, when you go to the Lost Coast the goal is to at least make it to the abandoned lighthouse. The first day we made it far enough to see the Lighthouse but it was getting dark and before we could get to it there was a rather large stream between us and our target so we decided to head back and then try again in the morning. The next day, however, the tide was so high that we couldn’t make it very far down the beach so we decided to climb up some pretty scary cliffs that were right on the shore. I nearly shat myself several times (too much info? sorry, I am just being honest.) Anyways here are some of the pics from one of my favorite trips

Here is Ian with some seal bones he found. He was demonstrating what bones they were

There’s me & the sponge I found

Me & Ian at the top of the cliff (it was much scarier than it looks I promise) I was holding on to him because it was VERY windy and I was scared of being blown away.

One of the few photos I have of Patrick, sorry it’s blurry but he is usually behind the camera.
