"Cow Town" by Default

The original plan to hike the Kimikaze Trail turns to dust due to an oversight by Capt. Charlie. Instead of meeting at the Go-Kart parking lot, CC mistakenly adviced everyone to meet at the Last Command Post. Fortunately, the four of us who make it to the hike, decide to change our plan and start our trek from the LCM, and save the Kimikaze for next week. At 6 a.m. Handy, Cutie, Chops and CC head to Banzai Cliff.

On the way to Banzai overlook, we notice a new fence being erected along the coastline. We decide to explore. Walking down along the fence, we find that it goes all the way to the edge of the cliff. The field covers about an acre of cut grass, and another fence on the other edge is also being constructed. We can only speculate what the field will be used for.  

The trail is dry and the trees are bare so we can see into the boonies. We find this old vehicle left rusted and disintegrated in the woods.

Taking our break at the Cow Town Beach. Oops, Chops, sorry, check out the next photo.

Handy and Chops switch seats. Both looking good. Waves are crashing ashore, sun is getting warm. We want to linger longer, but knowing that it will get hot soon, we must pack up and move on.

By the Cow Town gate, we notice much trash has been dumped. It is a shame to see our nature trail being ruined.

A serious looking cow giving us the warning stare.

Another source for speculation. What are these giant boulders being used for?

We had an easy and short hike, perfect for all of us, after having been absent from hiking for several weeks. Next week we will definitely take the Kimikaze trail, and we will meet at the Go-Kart parking lot.
