Do
you think...
Maybe
the gene pool needs a little chlorine?
Why
don't they just make mouse-flavored cat food?
Why
do we park in the driveway, and drive on the parkway?

The
Northern California coast is a scenic wonderland with old growth
coast redwoods - some of the world's tallest trees.
It is also
a rugged coast, with stretches of steep, rocky cliffs and rolling
slopes - largely untouched by humans. Because it is so rocky,
its tidal zone can be difficult to hike (with exceptions such
as Gold Bluffs Beach, a 7-mile stretch of dunes and sandy beach).
It is home
to a rich variety of life forms that occupy specific habitats.
Brown pelicans. cormorants, puffins, auklets, gulls, murres, and
pigeon guillimots flock throughout the area. California gray whales
in migration, seals, sea lions, dolphins, porpoises, and orca
(killer whales) are often off this coast.
The broken
coast's tidepools are home to a diverse mix of kelp, seaweed,
barnacles, limpets, mussels, star fish, nudibranchs, sea snails,
urchins, anemones, tiny fish, crabs and a myriad of other life
formes.
Several lagoons
-- where freshwater and saltwater mix -- lie in the area and are
abudndant with other plant and animal life forms.
Fog is common
in the area - particularly during the summer when it brings a
welcome respite from the hot dry days.
