Hole in the wall
This morning we woke up at 6:30 so that we could drive to Rialto beach and walk 1.5 miles north on the beach to the "Hole in the wall" and see the tide pools during low tide. When we left Forks, the sky was clear. The closer we got to the ocean, the foggier it became. On the beach, it was pretty thick. This section of beach is part of the national park. I was amazed by the size of the driftwood on the beach! Huge, white trees! I'm not sure if they grew there, then died from the salt water or if they were washed on shore from storms. Either way, they were all along the beach.
Apparently, all along the Oregon and Washington coast, there are rock spires. Here is one that materialized out of the fog in front of us. Notice me at the bottom of the shot and the tree growing on top of the rock. Who knows how big or how old that tree actually is, but it looked small from my vantage point.
Once we made it through the hole in the wall, the starfish were abundant. Colors ranged from orange to deep purple.
Here are a few shots we took on the way back to the car. We were out there from around 8am to 10:30 and the fog seemed to lift only slightly as the sun pushed more overhead. (I'll post them when blogger starts working again)
