On the way home from Mt. Oser…. Well let me start over… on the way to Mt. Oser there was this thick fog over the ocean and we kept seeing glimpses of it through the forest… and I kept begging Derick to pull over so I could take pictures… of course he said “we will pull over on the way back”... ughhhh… so on the way back he kept going… and going… and finally I remembered a little outlook was coming up so I yelled “PULL OVER” … what a good call… there was a fence with a little gate, pass through the gate and this is what we saw…
There was a peninsula straight out ahead and the ocean crashing in on each side, it was so amazing… oh and there were two Japanese men eating a picnic lunch... hmmm… but THEN I saw a little trail off to the left, with a little exploration I discovered a series of rope leading down some very steep very crud stairs… I of course immediately start descending… Derick of course takes 10 min. to decide if he wants to follow…
This is Derick after he finally decided to join me at the bottom…
Huge mounds of black volcanic rock, powerful waves crashing and swirling, me jumping from rock to rock trying to avoid the swells of the incoming tide!!! I loved every second of this! This place made me think of you Caitlyn… I wish you had been there, you would have LOVED it!
Derick and I and the vast Pacific Ocean!
This is our friend Mike up on the peninsula while we were down in the canyon…
The way back up was a little harder but the ropes really made it easy…
This is the trail out onto the tip of the peninsula… I just cant express how beautiful, and simple, and complex, and the smell of the ocean, and the sound of the crashing waves, the cries of the seagulls, it was so primal and simple yet so complex and rich and I felt like I could stay out there for hours and not feel like any time had passed.
This is looking back down into the canyon that we had climbed down into, you can see the pretty big areas of gushing ocean that we had to jump over to get out onto the rocks!
The pictures speak for themselves…
This was a “rornery rirry” (lonely lilly) that I found out on one of the cliffs, it reminds me of something from Hinds Feet on High Places… or the lilies of the valley who don’t worry… God takes care of everything!
And after our big day out in Japan… we ate at our favorite noodle house… The Cheese Roll… we all are great big plates of Yakisoba… yumm… yakisoba is a noodle dish made with buckwheat noodles, its delicious!
