Hike to Arch Rock!

FINALLY! I have mastered the Google Maps API and may present to you the first of many map posts for this blog. The first post discusses how to use this blog.

The trip! Kristin, Sean and I (TEAM INFERNO).. oh and Nick :P, hiked out to Arch Rock hearing rumors that part of the arch collapsed. We left from the Bear Valley trail head to the arch. About half way, Kristin removed her boots to expose horrid blisters. She fought through it and removed her boots at the arch and stayed barefoot the rest of the way (OUCH!). The tide was extremely low. Lower than I have ever seen it. We were able to walk under the arch and easily hop over the creek. We then decided to see how far up the beach we could walk. After exploring the cave on the way, we reached the cove and peninsula north of the arch. Sadly, this was the end of the line and we were forced to turn back. I definitely look forward to exploring the hills around the arch sometime soon. We'll have to find Kristin a good pair of boots, haha.
