Those large basaltic rocks sitting out in the ocean are just incredible.Colsthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05298977500454335745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30499448.post-1155922537061003342006-08-18T10:35:00.000-07:002006-08-18T10:35:00.000-07:00I see Moof has already told you about the Hopewell...I see Moof has already told you about the Hopewell rocks and the Bay of fundy which is in my neck of the woods.....a truly remarkable body of water and beaches that are home to many of the same creatures you mention in this post. It also covers and uncovers some of the richest fossil beds you'll find anywhere. A maritimer most of my life, I cannot fathom ever living away from an ocean - any ocean. Here in Nova Scotia we are always no more than an hour away from the Atlantic.<BR/>Your post has me craving the Pacific once again...but I will satisfy myself with a trip to a local beach this afternoon. <BR/>ShaunaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30499448.post-1155866744714257992006-08-17T19:05:00.000-07:002006-08-17T19:05:00.000-07:00Dr. Schwab-I went to Humbolt State University for ...Dr. Schwab-<BR/>I went to Humbolt State University for a few years and my favorite OR beach was called Gold's Beach. I miss it. There is something larger than life about Oregon beaches. Something more primevil than those of southern Cali or Florida.<BR/><BR/>Plz post a pic. It sounds wonderful. I'm sorry to hear you may have to say a final goodbye to an old friend. <BR/><BR/>Wanted to let you know I have tagged you. Perfect timing, I hope; as you may possibly have taken some paper reads along for the trip?Intelinursehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17609767439508682181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30499448.post-1155829656279170842006-08-17T08:47:00.000-07:002006-08-17T08:47:00.000-07:00Dr. Schwab ... thank for this post. Your love for ...Dr. Schwab ... thank for this post. Your love for the area really came through. I was saddened by the last line, though ... I hope that fate wouldn't be so cruel as to take your beautiful place of refuge away from you.<BR/><BR/>I can relate to the warm undercurrent of what you were saying, because it feels a lot like what we feel for our little spot on the lake here in Maine.<BR/><BR/>What you mentioned about the tides made me think of <A HREF="http://www.thehopewellrocks.com/" REL="nofollow">Hopewell Rocks</A> on the Bay of Fundy, in between New Brunswick and Nova Scotia ... the tide rises 46 feet! You have 15 minutes to get off the beach when you see it begin to come in ... and you'd be wise to do so. I've never seen anything quite like it anyplace else.<BR/><BR/>Great post!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30499448.post-1155828538659451992006-08-17T08:28:00.000-07:002006-08-17T08:28:00.000-07:00I love the beach--I grew up living right on the be...I love the beach--I grew up living right on the beach . . .people still drive on the beaches where I grew up. I love the sound of the waves crashing and the salt in the air . . .<BR/><BR/>Why won't you be able to go back (in the future)?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
