Never heard of Oyster Farming - will check that out. <br />Wow - 11 miles - GREAT - love the views and remember that trek up the hill - YIKES - looks steep to me - Lilly Lake n Lizard Lake - beautiful scenery.<br />Never saw skunk cabbage shoots before or heard of it - does the name mean skunks eat it? ha,ha<br />Again, DJan you have thrilled our house with your hikes, even though you have been here before, it is always a new adventure. Gee, I'm still thinking about you jumping out of a plane. You are going to have to attach your ipad to your helmet and turn on the video, so we can really see the jump. OK<br />Have a great day girlie n take care :)LilliStJohnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06771499579700164919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050996142546962834.post-66824133539084258602012-04-14T01:41:56.328-07:002012-04-14T01:41:56.328-07:00I enjoyed that a lot.

It was probably something that was screwing up the oysters anyway, not the other way around. <br /><br />I can't bring myself to eat one, though. Sea Loogies.<br /><br />You had a better day than I. I put in 16 miles, all on pavement. It's a long way to walk for some Columbia clothes on sale.Murr Brewsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03422638986410813520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050996142546962834.post-69830508400324653872012-04-13T11:53:29.404-07:002012-04-13T11:53:29.404-07:00What a day!

I wonder how many people are fortunate enough to see the bay from this point.<br /> I think about this when I'm in remote places.
