Cape Blanco

It’s been a little while since I last posted something. I’ve been at Cape Blanco State Park since December 1, 2015 and trying to not haz a SAD (seasonal affective disorder). It has been so rainy, with so little to do around here (there is stuff to do, but doing it in the cold rain is off-putting at best).

So, I take pictures. Here are a bunch.

I have also gone to Tseriadun beach (used to be called Agate Beach, but there is already an Agate Beach farther north, so the name was changed) a couple of times, looking for agates and pretty rocks. Found some of both.

I don’t have a picture of either the beach or the agates, but I might at some later date.

A couple of days ago, I wanted to walk on the river trail in the park. So, I went to the gate and entered into the pasture area to get to the trail. There were a bunch of cows loosely arranged not closely by, so it wasn’t too bad. Then they all turned to look and me and despite my attempts to wave them away and yell at them, they got closer and got themselves into a tighter bunch. As a bunch, they moved closer.

So, I arranged myself leaning languidly on the fence with one hand on the gate, so I could get to it quickly. After a standoff of about 5 minutes, the crowd of cows moved around away from me, seeming to go faster the farther they got from me. I guess once they caught wind of me from downwind, they couldn’t wait to get away.

This little adventure is supposed to end March 31. After that I will be going to wherever my summer gig is. I haven’t found anything for sure yet, but I’ll still post more as it happens.
