This is a sunfish we passed. We circled him three times to verify that is what it was. |
The bald eagles almost outnumber the seagulls here. There was a family living on this tiny island that we moored off of in Ucluet. The eagle is in the treetop. |
I think these stickers on the high voltage boxes are funny. |
We hiked about 6 miles on a trail around the small peninsula in Ucluet. This is looking west over a rocky cove. |
There was another small boardwalk section on this hike. |
Leif walking - Gage is up ahead. |
Taking a brief rest on the long hike. |
Whew! we made it all the way around. This is the name of the park. |
Tires hikers. |
Ucluet had a terrific small aquarium. we got to see some the the sealife up close under a high power microscope. |
These are sunflower starfish. |
This is called Painted Starfish. |
Trinity on the mooring ball in Ucluet. The little island with the eagle family is right behind us. |
This is a perfect little beach on the east side of Effingham Island. We hiked an old indian trail to get to it. |
This is all that is left of an old Indian Great House that is just off the beach. |
These are some of the things left/found from the beach. |
Moss on the end of one of the old logs from the great house. |
This may not be the original fire pit, but looks to be in a spot where it might have been in the center of the house area. |
The boys were happy to finally have found a sandy beach. Most of the beaches are very rocky. |
This beach is sandy because it is the old midden of the village and is made up mostly of broken shellfish. |
A view into Barkley Sound from the beach. |
I left an offering on the table of some dried shells and crabs. |
This is a really big scallop or clam shell, I'm not sure which. |
Oops! I think the tide went out. It's a good thing we can pick this up! |
