"Why don't you get a job"  he said! "Hell, you get a job and work make four or five dollars an hour, you could get a savings account, pretty soon you'll never have to work again." I said "hell, that's what I'm doing right now!"

Seals & Whalers Cabin


After lunch we headed on and saw this baby seal chasing mom up into the bull kelp. She was not in the mood to play, so baby entertained himself with a bull kelp. 


 Perhaps silkies?

Furry trees along trail








Weird centipede


"Whales being warm- blooded mammals, which breath as we do, could, in principle, live on land, but if a whale were on land, it's organs would be crushed under its own weight." Diane Ackerman The Moon By Whale light
