OLD WORK: The Lost Coast

I was thinking about Northern California this morning. We hiked along The Lost Coast which was one of the most amazing trips of my life. I know I've written about it before. But waking up to the sound of "munching", unzipping your tent, looking out into the face of an enormous bull elk and his harem 10 feet from your head — yeah, I'd say it's worth writing about twice. Aww, and it's kind of cute the way he tried to disguise himself. You're a giant elk, you can't hide under a few leaves and some grass!!
