Alamere Falls

Saturday was perfect weather for handstands on the beach and a waterfall. Sara and Maret provided the handstands and other graceful feats; made possible by the several thousands of dollars their parents spent on ice skating and gymnastics lessons. God provided the waterfall.

Technically a waterfall that falls on the beach, or in the ocean, is a tidefall. Alamere Falls is one of two such tidefalls found on the California coast.

The North Face provided us with steady footing; each of us sporting a pair of Hedgehogs.






Random facts of today's adventure gleaned from my new toy:
Distance: 10.00 mi (includes .02 mi r/t from
car to bathroom)
Elapsed Time (moving): 3:26:13
Avg Pace: 20.37/mi
Avg Speed: 2.9 mph
Max Speed: 5.0 mph
Ascent: 3630 ft (I think I pressed start after already ascending 15 ft of stairs at the beginning of the trail)
Descent: 3645 ft
