Yesterday was my oldest son’s birthday. When I asked him
what activity he wanted to do to celebrate, he said he’d like to go for a hike,
though nothing with any significant elevation climb. I thought about that and
suggested we begin at the beach where there’s a trailhead that lead thirty
miles up into the mountains. Course, I emphasized how I didn’t expect us to go
anywhere near that far on our hike.
My son liked my suggestion, so we headed out. Upon arriving
at the beach, I was surprised to see how far out the tide was. Though I’ve
become an avid tide chart enthusiast, watching for low tides so I can gather
sea glass and seashells, I’d never seen the tide this low.
So just how far out was the water? Far enough to expose an entire
tide pool area that spanned a mile in length and was usually completely
concealed way under the water.
Both my son and I are avid tide pool explorers and love to
take whatever opportunities to explore them. So, when faced with this newly
revealed tide pool area, we jumped at the chance to see what treasures might be
hidden.
Tune in tomorrow to see what we discovered.
