ROCKS

It was a foggy and rainy morning and the plan for the day was to do some hiking and exploring in the area known as Samuel H. Boardman State Scenic Corridor. The sun just started coming out when they left at noon. 

They drove north for several miles to the viewpoint for Arch Rock. There was a short easy hike through a forest of large spruce trees to the actual viewpoint. It was a place they had visited before, but the views were still as stunning as ever. 

Driving a few miles south they stopped at viewpoint, Natural Bridge. The hike down the cliff was very steep and rocky and Jim attempted to climb down. The other humans stayed on the wooden platform and took pictures. Jim came back shortly saying the climb down was more than he bargained for.

A few more miles south they stopped at the last viewpoint, Whaleshead Beach. That was an easier climb down for everyone. The rock really looks like a whale popping up out of the water. When a big wave hits the rock just right a spray of water comes out and looks like a whale spout. Unfortunately, I can’t figure out how to add a picture of that, you’re going to have to use your imagination.

The final destination today was Harris Beach State Park. No famous rocks here, just a nice walk on the beach. There were some people flying kites and sitting on the beach, but no one was brave enough to get in the water.
