A day trip to Cape Kiwanda







An incredible wall of sand looms in the distance.

It wants to be climbed...

... climbed by ME!

About halfway up this ridge is a good spot to catch a breath of fresh ocean air.
View from the top

People watching.

Looking further North on the other side of the sand hill.

From here you can hike out to some nice rock exposures.
Can you spot Gretchen?

There she is!
More great views along the ridge.

I found a nice perch.

And so did Gretchen!

Neat rock formations.


Time to hed back for some lunch!

A tasty flight to go with lunch at Pelican Brewery.


What a fantastic day trip!




I asked this strange fellow if he'd seen my wife.

This one hadn't seen her either.

I think these two were in cahoots!

They kept growing in numbers...

If you can't beat 'em...


Put a mustache on it!


Dinner that night was delicious!

Nicoise salad with poached tuna.
