A little recap of a camping trip last month... This is probably the most photographed waterfall in the state of California, just a short walk off of Highway 1. This is a pretty dry state though, so there aren't tons and tons of waterfalls to go around. I really really wanted to go play under the waterfall. I was born and raised in Hawaii where you are supposed to be IN the waterfall, not just take a picture of it like a tourist.
I've seen sparkling black sand and olive sand and every shade of tan...but this pink sand really made an impression on me. There were a lot of seals in the water and a bank of redwood logs we had to hop along to get to this little cove.
I have really been enjoying the simple editing of Instagram on my new iphone (yes, I KNOW. I am now in that club--it is awesome!) But now I am realizing the ease of sharing on my phone is making me less apt to blog. Blogging is different though. I will keep it up! This blog is getting up there in age... 4 years old!
Most of the coastal sites were full, so we camped 11 miles in from the coast...we drove up and up, overlooking the ocean and fog. I loved the views. After the long winding road (in our 21 year old car) we made it to Nacimiento Campground. It was quite lovely. There was no running water but a stream ran by, which helped muffle out the sound of the party boys camping near us. I plunged into this stream to wash that campfire soot of my skin and really feel alive. The friends we were with had told us about a spa in Cancun where they went on a Water Journey. This was our makeshift water journey.
