Antidote to Foggy Day Angst

Some images from what we've been up to:

Yesterday it was foggy all day, uninviting to be outside.What to do?

Quilt.

Then, a two-hour hike in the fog at nearby Samuel P. Taylor State Park:

Very state- or national park-ish.  Jerry checked the lights in 4 campground bathrooms and found 11 species of moths.  I was a decoy for the Women's side.

Definitely fall

Where the trail's been washed out for about five years.

Jerry speculating why on earth they haven't been able to fix it in that length of time. Surely, a drain pipe and some asphalt is all they need?

Today it was sunny when we got up, hurray!  We drove out to what used to be the site of Drakes Bay Oyster Company, the subject of the book I just finished.  Not much there.

The buildings are gone, and in their place:

A small beach

 A giant parking lot

 Fragments of oyster shells

An interpretive board

A regulation National Parks bathroom

A new sign at the road

In the afternoon, we hiked at Muddy Hollow for an hour, until the wind picked up and clouds gathered.  Supposed to be rain tonight.

In the parking lot,  I saw what looked like a large handbag hanging on a truck:

A feedbag for horses:

Dahlias brought in ahead of the storm:
