After a long night slumber I awoke in a comfortable bed with the smell of coffee wafting under my door. After a leisurely morning the five of us (Kathy, Tom, Zack, Mary and I) piled into the truck in search of the ocean, some solace and rejuvenation that only the ocean and a good hike could bring. We headed south of Coos Bay area stopping briefly to fill our coolers with fresh delicacies from the sea, or at least the seafood store. In true Kathy style – we stopped briefly at a seemingly random trail head off the side of the road and unloaded ourselves. Tom remained in the truck delivering our lunch to an undisclosed location. We proceeded to explore the trail that winded along the coast line. After some time we met up and Tom at a picnic area that was ‘reserved just for us.’ We feasted, napped, explored, chatted with the sea lions and even saw a few whales. By the end of the day we began gathering thoughts, and re-planning. We were all left agreeing that an ill wind does blow some good.
