Welcome to the Pacific

A beautiful view of the Pacific just before sunset.
The swells of the Pacific are significantly larger than the Atlantic. Along this part of the coast there are warnings to stay out of the water as there are "sneaker waves" that are deadly and can pull you quickly into the ocean. There are also information boards regarding earthquakes and tsunami's- which is new to us...and somewhat disturbing. Needless to stay we remained well back from the ocean.
As you can see, Triana was not the only one "GROSSED" out by the dead sea creatures. Kass shared the same opinion...sad...yet gross.
The Klamoth River can be seen flowing into the Pacific in the bottom left of this photo. There were many sea lions feeding at the mouth of the river, but we could not get any closer because the sandbar is privately owned. The Ranger we met at this look-out point said that there has been gun incidents regarding tresspassing along this sandbar ...we decided to view the animals from "safe"a distance.
