Roadtrip Across the USA: Day 6

Today was a reminiscence of a few days back in June of 2008. I visited some of my most favorite places in the world. One in particular though. I don't know what its called but there is something surreal about this place. It starts at the top of a hill. You walk down this very narrow trail descending the hill completely surrounded by wild bushes and flowers. In the distance that you are walking towards is the Pacific Ocean. You continue walking down and the smells around just suck you into the earth. Pure nature. As soon as you reach the beach it is a short stretch of sand but to the left is a massive 200 foot cliff that engulfs you and stretches out into the ocean a good football field length. On the side is coated with massive rocks and smaller cliffs. And knowing myself and Andrew, we climb.

It was high tide so climbing the rocks and cliffs that jutted out into the ocean was somewhat difficult. When you climb all the way out with no land around you but the rocks you are standing on and the 200 foot cliff in the sky, there is this rock arch that is absolutely beautiful. The waves crash constantly towards you spraying mist into the air; in the distance you can see the Golden Gate and San Fran. Its quiet. I love it. And of course I went there today, showing Andrew. On the way back was more difficult than getting there. In the end I had both my shoes absolutely soaked and cut my thumb wide open and bleed pretty badly. It was all for San Fran :)

After, we stopped a few more places that I visited 2 years ago and showed them around. It was a lot of hiking, climbing, sweating, bleeding, and photo taking.

The rest of the day included eating at an amazing diner called Mel's (ever seen American Graffeti), watching sea lions grunt, climbing streets and listening to Lady Gaga. Today was one of the best days of the trip.

And also, we saw the entrance to Skywalker Ranch. Emoks roaming the woods. :)
