Besides cherry picking over 4th of July weekend we also found shipwreck beach. And by found I mean we followed the directions which were like "turn left at the gravel pit with the green fence" because road signs are few and far between in Japan and we couldnt read them anyway... but with out too much trouble (we know some people who have been there before and gave us few heads up) we found it! And the first thing you come upon on the short trail from the parking lot (dirt area next to the road) is....
I mountain of seashells. I am not joking this is huge pile of seashells. A huge stink pile of shells... the stinky part was discovered when someone tried to run up it... I know what you are thinking ... and no it was not me it was Derick. He got maybe two feet up and was like HELL NO... Derick and Mike are telling me it was at least 100 maybe 150 feet tall... and smelled like Kona butt... hmmm... thats very big and very stinky....
Here is the first glimps of the ships.... they were soooo cool!
I loved all of the colors of the old wood and paint against the white sand and blue water. They are old fishing ships that are probably washed up from a storm but I really have no idea how they all got stuck here. There are 5 or 6 ships total. Some are really deteriorated and some as you can see are almost whole and I could even walk up on thier decks.
This area is not on the ocean it is on Mutsu Bay so the water is much calmer and crystal clear. I was really nice, there was also lots of sea glass. The water is still pretty cool but I got in up to my stomach...
While the front of the ships were whole the backs were all ripped off. What it looks like is some Mutsu Bay monster came and bit off the back of a boat and threw it up onto the beach.
This is looking back up the deck from the back of the boat, there was lost of rusted metal which I love, and I actually did not impale myself... yay
After swimming and exploring the wrecks we took a stroll up the beach to look for more sea glass. The scenery was gorgeous! Apparently right after we left the boys fell asleep back at the wrecks woke up and we were no where in sight and thought we all got stolen. So the ran up the beach to try to find us.... and we were just walkin and talkin up the beach when three sweaty slightly perturbed boys found us... oops
After Derick found me and realized I had not been kidnapped by the terrorists he forgave me for running away and held my hand on the way back
Back at the shipwrecks.. I thought the now cloudy sky made for cool pictures.
Over all the trip was very successful and very much fun!!! I think this picture looks like the arc!

I found you!! lol
Love reading up on all the Gee adventures - this shipwreck business was very adventurous (minus the Kona-butt smelling seashell mountain, which was just gross).
Cheerio!
