[cali camping]

Well, we did it! We went to the coast and watched this one come in. We went to Wrights Beach on the Sonoma Coast:

This is as close to the surf in Northern California as you can get. Luckily the wise rangers shut down the lower loop just before we got there. Saturday morning my wife was out of the trailer in the morning before I was. She started the morning with the "you might want to come out and look at this" statement. As we all know this is usually a precursor to something that is not good. As we looked down the entrance road we could see the sea swells moving across the entrance road at the peak of high tide. No big deal for us, since we were at the highest spot in the campground. Actually all the campers were high and dry, but if anyone was in the lower loop they would have been in about 2 feet of sea water that was moving pretty fast!
Always impressive to see what the forces of nature can do.
