Arch Cape to Short Sands

Dec. 4, 2003
        A few intrepid hikers would not stay home because of a weather forecast calling for high winds and pouring rain.  We found the high winds caused quite a display in the forest and produced a few logs to climb over or around. The rains held off, fortunately, until mid-afternoon, and even then it didn't rain significantly until we were heading from Short Sands beach to the parking lot. In the pictures below you'll see us sitting on the dry ground at lunch time.

        The first part of the Arch Cape trail was not maintained, and was marked "closed", but it was actually no harder to walk than the sections on the west side of the highway.
