All camping at Point Reyes is remote. It's a two-mile hike to Coast Camp.
I was about a mile in when I took this picture,
after which, I slipped on the trail and fell, tearing my jeans and scraping my knees something awful. Sigh... But the show must go on.
I didn't get close enough to see what these scavengers were eating, but it looks like a juvenile white shark!
After setting up camp and tramping around for a couple hours, I settled in under a giant eucalyptus and waited for the sunset.
I took these last pictures from my campsite, standing on the picnic table.
It got quite cold overnight. I think my next camping gear acquisition should be a ski mask or something. Cold isn't the worst part about camping in winter in California tho', it's the long night. Bring your iPod and lots of things to read.
I crossed paths with a coyote this morning. I thought he was looking at me when I took this picture. Darn it!

Lovely as always and frosty too. You have the same varmints out there as I do, except I think the farmers may have taken out the coyotes. I think what I hear now are foxes.
What a great picture of the vultures with the shark. Definitely looks like a young great white or mako. I have a shot of vultures eating a harbor seal. I watched as they ate its eyes! Nature is gruesome but interesting.
yeah, it's probably a mako, huh? Still, neat!
Oh. My. Goodness... you have rocketed me back to Pt Reyes and my childhood!! So many unforgettable sights. This is just delicious. Wow!!!
