We had a very quiet day, and watched most of our neighbors pack up and head for home. Only a handful of children were still playing in the street. After lunch we headed back to Point Reyes. Bill tried a short cut which ended up taking an extra half hour through some beautiful big trees which it was hard to appreciate because Judy was anxious to get to the shore. The views at the lighthouse were worth the trip. We did not climb down 30 stories to climb up the lighthouse, but we marveled at the spectacular beach to the north and the beautiful bay to the south. Bill had to park a quarter of a mile away because of the crowds. At Sir Francis Drake Bay we walked back to an overlook to find a whole colony of elephant seals sunbathing. The fog started to roll in as we left. We needed gas, and had to pay $4.31 in Pt. Reyes Station. Gas has usually been cheaper than we expected in California - running 3.50 to 3. 80. We have been getting many of our meals from Whole Foods and the Lucky supermarket. Tonight was shrimp from Lucky which we ate at another campsite because we had new neighbors who had started a big campfire. We stayed away until bedtime. The campground feels much more manageable with many fewer residents.
