Here we are docking in Scorpion Bay on the Island Packers boat. The trip over was a bit rough as we encounter 10' swells and 15 knot winds. Sure glad I took that Dramamine. |
 |
This is Scorpion Harbor. |
 |
The island was a lush green from all the rains we had this year. It used to support cattle/sheep ranching. |
 |
We did a docent lead hike to this spot. It was a quick 500' elevation rise, but I had no problem. |
 |
Same view without the humans. The weather was brisk with a breeze at the rim. |
 |
Took a different route back which was very scenic. The weather looked very threatening at this point. |
 |
We were working up a good appetite. Helen made us corned beef sandwiches for our lunch on the island. |
 |
Another view of Scorpion Harbor. Next time, I want to spend some time kayaking around the arches and sea caves. |
 |
We did some more hiking while on our 5 hour stay on the island. This strange looking thistle was every where on the trails and it kept sticking me. |
