Surfing Waves

Our intrepid duo, Roxy & billie, visited still another secret spot in the unspoiled Gaviota Coast. Here's some photos from their adventure. The first one shows a happy girl.

Fine textured marine sedimentary layers. This is a portion of the Cozy Dell Shale formation. Crude oil is recovered from this formation deep below channel waters and on the terrestrial bluffs.

Cozy Dell Shale formation closeups. billie enjoys this stuff. Roxy is only interested if it is edible.

Just the way Roxy and billie like it. Nobody for miles around.

Healthy shellfish abound. Shellfish like this contributed to a rich diet for the Chumash tribesmen than flourished along the south coast before the Europeans arrived.

...and sometimes on our adventures, we rest in the shade. We find ourselves doing more of this on our adventures than in previous years. Not so many non-stop 12 to 15 mile hikes. We must be getting old.

Sometimes we stop at cool streams so Roxy can get a fresh water drink.

We often stay 'til sundown. If we could live right here, then we would.

Some nice rail to rail action in that first photo

It’s amazing how quickly coastlines become deserted when it takes more than 5 minutes from the nearest car park

Jaffa is getting old or befuddled, maybe both.
He considers himself a pun master and missed that.
He was distracted!

Great shots! I'm sorry we didn't have time to do this with you.
