Pelicans Smelicans


We took a little walk along the bay and there were more pelicans there than we had ever seen in our whole lives. They were having a fit. About 6 sea otters were trying to rest in the kelp, and the pelicans kept dive bombing as near to them as they could get. It was funny. Otters just seemed to ignore them.

Weird Grass


We found this really soft grass along the shore. It was like silk. The fibers were strong too, it seems like it would make good cord or rope.

Elephant Seals


We were driving down highway 1 and we saw a bunch of elephant seals just lounging on the the shore. Of course, Jenica had to go see the baby seals. They were really cute and we were able to video two big males fighting. It didn't look like much of a fight, more like a yelling match, but the outcome was the same. One of them went sulking away. The other looked all arrogant. We saw whales and sea otters too as we drove along highway 1. If you get car sick with hills and curves, then highway one is not for you. We spent 6 hours just doing "S" curves.

Jen's Room

This is the beginnings of fixing up Jen's room. It looks better now, but I'm too lazy to take another picture of it. We found out that she can hang pictures on the wall, so that will warm it up. She is talking to Paul.

A Picture




This is a picture.

Jen at Morro Bay


We spent a day recouping from so much driving at Morro Bay. We didn't thing we were tired, but we ended up sleeping most of the day, part of it on the beach. The waves were so pretty and there weren't very many people there. We ended up spending two nights there. We like that little town. We had been there before.

Lava Tube


At Craters of the Moon I climbed into a lava tube. It was much cooler in side. The temp at ground level was 130. It felt nice inside. If you ever get a chance to go there, you should. It is really strange. It would make a great place for a science fiction movie. We hiked some but we couldn't hike much because of Jen's computer being locked in the car in the heat. We were afraid all her stuff would melt. I wanted to climb into Angel lava tunnel. It seems like I would belong there.
