KEHOE BEACH & THULE ELK
Ok, back to the Pt. Reyes National Seashore one more time. But, truly folks, this is a magnificent park and one could spend months exploring and observing here especially if you don't bring your dog. I don't care for that part of it much but I certainly understand why it has to be. Everywhere we have been there have been leash laws, much to my chagrin. And, everywhere we've been people take their dogs off lead. And, worse yet, they don't pick up after them. Yuck!
Anyway, we headed out to the north point. The Kehoe Beach Trail is a short walk to the beach and it is a really pretty beach with incredible sand cliffs.
After Kehoe we kept on going north until we got into the elk preserve. Thule elk are only found in California. Apparently, their numbers were once up there with the buffalo until we arrived and wiped them out. They were nearly extinct before someone decided to give them a hand. Now the park has a herd of between 300 - 400 and there are around 3,200 statewide. They are elegant beasts.
We almost got to Tamales Point, the northern most point but we'd fiddled around until we lost all the light so we headed home.
Until next time ....
