Point Reyes

Last week I took a trip to Point Reyes National Seashore park in Marin county. It is the home of a lot of cool animals and the former Miwok Indians.  Sir Francis Drake discovered Drake's Bay in the late 1500's.  Just like Drake and all the explorers since we encountered fog on the beach but it lifted later in the day.

The first animals we saw up close were deer. It was a doe and her two fawns. They didn't just walk they pranced. We stayed quiet and they did not seem to be afraid of us. We saw the fawns on our hike to the light house. The views were fantastic!! But we had 308 stairs down and 308 stairs up!!! After we got back from the light house, we took a side trail and ended up seeing Habor Seals. We also thought we saw otters playing in the water, too. They were a long distance off so we had to use binoculars. Then we drove to a look out point and walked along the seashore and saw Elephant Seals. During the day we ended up seeing lots of birds.

Besides seeing animals we had and amazing morning walk on the foggy beach. The water was frigid but we walked bare foot in the sand and water anyways. Our last adventure at point Reyes was a basket weaving class. We learned to make a woven basket using the same grasses the Miwok Indians had used hundred years ago. If you have never been to point Reyes, I recommend it for all ages. It is an adventure worth taking.

Stay tuned for my next adventure. I'm going to be getting a Red-eared Slider turtle. Gotta go now... So I can get a 50 gallon tank....
