Day 30 - Cape Lookout

High above the Pacific on the spine of Cape Lookout.

Rain comes and goes here all the time, even when it is sunny, like right now.

All is green.

The spine of Cape Lookout is narrow in spots, with very steep sides.

Once again, we find more spots where the US Navy has anchored Oregon to the rest of North America to keep it from falling into the sea along with California. It makes no sense to us as Oregon has no Naval Bases. And there seems to be no anchors in California.

More trilliums along this trail too.

In fact, despite this being late season for them - there are still many very happy healthy specimens

Those pesky ferns hiijack yet another twisty tree.

More green.

Giant Parasitic Ferns are quietly growing sentient in this glen. They have already reached a state of "where am I?". We expect them to get to the "Take me to your leader" state in a few years.

The Team contemplates the Giant Parasitic Ferns.

Fog and light showers come in waves across the headlands.

That's Pacific City's Haystack Rock, confusingly shaped just like Cannon Beach Rock with the same name.

Now the lilies are plannng to attack the giant trees from the bottom up.

One of those momentary fluxes in space - time as the giant trees try to ward off the fern and lily invasions.

Another angry sunset closes out the day.
