Day 30 - Cape Sebastian

The view from the parking lot at Cape Sebastian. The trail goes all the way to the beach. We're limiting Emma to 2 hours of trail time, so we probably won't make it to the bottom, but the tide is all the way into the cliffs anyways..

Wendy and Emma stamp off down the trail.

Russ celebrates the wonders of the Cape - and the final day of the US Presidential campaigns. Woohoo - tomorrow it will all be done.

Emma watches with worry as her boy wanders off into the light - don't we always say - don't go into the light? Do as we say - not as we do.

The trailside features some amazing drops.

This tree species, decimated by unrestricted logging, is the very species lending its name to the mighty Pacific Ocean. Save the Western Pacifier Pine!

Most people believe the Pacific Ocean was named for its peaceful disposition. Hah! I'd hate to see it angry. It was, in fact, named for a tree (see above).

Emma finds a way around some more peaceful wreckage.

The greater Oregon wild stump camera tree. You can choose any camera you'd like.

A hint of how hard the winds blow around here.

The mushroom of the day. I did some research to see if I could figure out which of these might be edible, and all the sources I consulted basically say all edible species have a deadly look-alike. Excellent design, mushroom gods!

Of course, all hikes in Oregon end at the beach. It's in the Rules and Regulations.
