[image:641,left,5,5]Isn't this picture amazing? Roy sent this to me back in April -- it's at a place called Hole in the Wall, beside the West Coast trail, which Roy did in July 2002.
The funny thing is, Kate's aunt and uncle are the lighthouse keepers right next to the spot -- Kate recognized the view immediately.

Broken Islands
Also don't forget the Broken Islands, where you can find white sand beaches, water as crystal clear as saltwater can get, oysters the size of your feet that you can break right off the rock, eat them right then and there. Just inland from the beaches, you can find soft beds of humous (fallen plant vegitation, not that great dip) for pitching your tent and sleeping on something that feels like the equivalent of a luxury bed.
And you can watch big, slow-moving waves come in at the end of their journey, having traveled hundreds or thousands of miles to get there. Primal nature has such an awe-inspiring effect, you go into a daze as you look at it. When you see it, you understand why the Japanese have such a great feeling that they have become out of touch with nature. As soon as you are in-touch with nature, it's a feeling you never forget. I guess this is also why indigenous peoples believe beautiful places to have mystic powers, perhaps it is a sense of hearing the hum of the earth and the natural beauty of a place rich in geological contrast and features that inspire feelings within.
