Our last day at the coast we spent in Brookings looking for tide pools hoping to get a glance at some sea urchins or starfish. The day started out nice and sunny but the fog rolled in quickly. I personally didnt mind, I prefer overcast skies, you have to when you are pale. At this particular area of the beach there was a sign posted that said that a mountain lion had been spotted recently and to beware. "Beware of Mountain Lions" - that can make you a bit paranoid. I am surprised that people didnt hunt it down and kill it for showing its face on the beach. That seems like typical human behavior.
Unfortunately, we didnt spot any tide pools because the tide wasnt low enough but we still had a good time,...
...Plus we got to feed some animals. Among some of the rocks near the coast, there are gopher-like ground squirrells living in holes and tunnels in the ground. When you walk up to them, the fat speckled ground squirrels pop out of their holes hoping to be fed human food. I decided to feed them a granola bar. As soon as I opened the granola bar about twelve of them ran to our feet and started begging. I was afrad they were going to run up our pant legs, they were so insistent.
