Heck! long way to the beach, takes me only five minutes

but it's worth it, there's nothing like being near the ocean.

A scuba diving buddy of mine wore a T shirt "Life's a beach - then you dive", just threw that in there

1800 miles and 3 days to that one beach Graham, it felt really good.

Nice pic, but I must say you don't look anything like your avatar.

Best regards,

Good pic; always nice to breathe in the salt sea breezes.

Aaaah, a sea breeze between the knees...

That's a pretty good trick, Rob, "waving" with your hands in your pockets.

Congratulations on making it. Long trip! Nice sunset.

I had made it to my brothers earlier so he drove to the beach thank goodness, I was very tired at that point, the wind had not started to pick up so it was actually quite nice.

P1M, it's still a two lane road but they are widening it and nary a log truck to be seen. It has really changed since I was last here in 91.

For KCW, the sunset really was beautiful.
