Lost Coast
July 3-6, 2003
It's July 4th weekend and Jeff organized this great trip to the lost coast.
The red dotted trail
The team: Jane, Jeff, ?, Ped, Imola, Mark, Miles (the dog), Gabe, Yelena, Chrstof
Jeff where is your dog?
We arrived Thursday night at our first camping site
Ped is helping Yelena put up her tent
Watching the sunset over a glass of wine (or two)
What a sunset !
First night's dinner (Gabe where have you been?)
By the next morning the team was complete
The breakfast ...
... with a nice cup of tea
Almost ready to go
It started as a walk on the beach
Dangerous river crossing
The first stop: an abandoned lighthouse
It's quite windy up there
Yelena stretching her back
One of many water falls
What a relief walking on solid ground
A colony of sea lions
Crossing another creek
Gabe caught a water snake
George Washington Rock
Back on the beach
Nobody lives here anymore
Jeff and Django leading the team
Shortcut
Let's have a break...
... with ice cream (thanks to this nice guy ?)
Nap time
Getting ready for the second night
The chef of the day was Jeff
Tasty
Sunset number two
Everybody is busy packing the next morning
12 miles of beach for today
The tail of a rattle snake
Two men and their dogs
A well deserved break
Peaceful moments
Let's have a break here :-)
Sometime the tide was really high
and we needed to wait for two hours before we could go on
I need shade
We need sun
Finally we managed to pass the narrow beach
Jane helping Jeff with the tent
The girls taking a bath
Tonight Ped is the master of the cuisine
Camping on the beach
Miles getting ready for the last 6 miles
and so is Gabe
How do I put the underwear on
More sea lions
Rock slide
Foggy coast behind
Sunny coast ahead
Gabe devouring peanut butter
Last lunch
At the end Jane gave up to stay dry
After 3 days on the beach we return to civilization
Jeff, thanks for organizing this beautiful hike
