As always, your trip reports brighten my day. My family is at the beach this week and I'm hanging under the house at night. My wife thinks I'm crazy to do that instead of sleep in a bed. But the hammock is best. Ocean breeze and sound of the surf all night. You'd mentioned short hikes versus long hikes. I've walked by astonishingly beautiful stuff when I'm trying to make the miles and missed beauty. Can be a pity to miss that. Nothing out there is by accident. Everything has a purpose in the nature of things. Thanks for sharing.
