SHELTER COVE

Another night at the Benbow KOA, and tonight we are being invaded! Not surprising. Since all the State campgrounds are closed, the private ones are open and filled to capacity. Guess we better get used to it, because it's probably going to be like this all summer. I don't mind, most every camper has at least one dog, so I have lots of new friends to growl at. Bella barks, I growl, and Gianni could care less about the whole situation.

Jim and Warren went for an exploratory bike ride this morning. Supposedly, to see if it was something the girls would like to do. They didn't come back for a really long time. The girls took advantage of the time for manicures and pedicures. Any time Kathe spends time with me is okay! Luckily, she didn't paint my toenails.

Later in the day they all piled into Kathy's car and drove to Shelter Cove. It was a 27 mile drive but it took an hour and a half to get there. The road was so windy and narrow, but there were beautiful Redwood trees all the way down to the ocean. They stopped first at the black sand beach before driving to the rocky coast pictured here. You can't see them in this picture, but there were hundred of sea lions on the far rocks. They are stinky and they sure can bark!
