And those flowers are so tall. I've been to Boundary Bluffs, many decades ago, and the view there is amazing also. You'd love it. But I don't remember the sunsweep. Definitely turtle. Fog or not, this is a gorgeous coastline. Although I could do without the mozies.Gaelynhttp://geogypsytraveler.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-2281567532507526142013-08-23T21:52:53.042-04:002013-08-23T21:52:53.042-04:00Maybe th pile of wood on the beach someone is work...Maybe th pile of wood on the beach someone is working on a Huckleberry Finn craft to set out from the beach, escape their boring life and see where they end up.

I think I owe you lots of money for all the things you've taught me. ;c)<br /><br />You are right, the Coast Guard came into being in 1915 when the Lifesaving Service, the Revenue Cutter Service, the Lighthouse Service and a few others were merged into one military organization under the Dept. of the Treasury.<br /><br />The orange triangle, I believe may be an old navigational aid. Range markers usually are two pieces, one in the rear is usually up high and one in the front and further towards the water is lower. As a ship enters the channel, it lines up the two range markers in line one above the other, then it knows it is in the center of the channel. If the range markers don't line up, the ship corrects its course until they do. It is still a system widely in use today.<br /><br />Good thing all those skeeters were on David's hat and not his skin. That's one great hat! :c)Paul and Marti Dahlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17332654035718777839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-51984873725216485412013-08-23T18:21:50.238-04:002013-08-23T18:21:50.238-04:00You guys hiked a "fur" piece this day! ...You guys hiked a "fur" piece this day! (An early start is smart.) When we hiked this trail in June 2010, we didn't make it all the way to Liberty Point -- had to turn around at the Sunsweep sculpture. Hiking this coast was one of the most scenic trails we've trod. We were there in spring and what a riot of wildflowers we saw!!Nickie and Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11566506168550004304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-31743858815093643882013-08-23T13:40:35.685-04:002013-08-23T13:40:35.685-04:00Thanks for showing us the sundial, we only saw it ...Thanks for showing us the sundial, we only saw it from afar!

Neat hike besides them. Interesting structure sightings and a nice lunch spot. I actually liked all the self portraits :) Wild flowers in Fall. I like that. Two types of habitat. I like that too.

Seems to me the mosquitoes were only a bother when it was foggy. They only place we ever saw more than one or two people was at the Roosevelt Cottages area.
