Edge of the earth
May 19th, 2009
Item number 4,732 from the Bucket List:
Hike to the very tippity-tip of Cape Flattery, the northwesternmost point of the continental United States.
Stand leaning into the wind and rain, back to the trees, discovering how sea stars and cormorants spend their Mondays.
Gaze out to open sea with the spray crashing in your ears, erosion and subduction shaping the world beneath your very feet.
And marvel at all three thousand land-mass miles extending behind you.
Check.
COOL!
That looks magnificent! Isn’t it wonderful to check something off your bucket list?
The ocean has such a way of making me feel small. I love it!
