A Visit to Año Nuevo State Park
(Don't Skip the "ñ". If you spell it "Ano" it means New Anus State Park.)
 |
| The Visitor Center is in an old barn. You have to get a permit before you walk out to see the seals. |
 |
| The view walking out is awesome... |
 |
| ... lined with grasses, flowers and berries. |
 |
| ... and a pond, a pleasant walk (or so it seemed). |
 |
| The Ranger said you would come to a dune, ok, no problem. |
 |
| Ok, Problem. It was only 50 ft up. Two steps forward, slide back one. |
 |
| But the seals were just around the corner on the down hill side of the dune. |
That Nose is why they are called Elephant Seals....
But I think they should have been named after Jimmy Durante.
 |
| Some of the older boys wrestling. |
 |
| Free for all Brawl |
 |
| But mostly they were just there to soak up some rays, |
 |
| Hang out by the Shore |
 |
| or scoot off to find some peace and quiet. |
 |
| The walk back was just as pleasant |
 |
| the view just as spectaular |
 |
| But it did seem a little longer. |
Some Elephant Seal Facts and A movie I made at the end.
