After All This Anticipation ….. Finally ….. the Pacific Ocean!
“ …. grey and cold and wet, and Chris and I look and see the water, the ocean, in the distance beyond piers and grey buildings. I remember this was our great goal all these days. We enter a restaurant with a fancy red carpet and fancy menus with extremely high prices. We are the only people here. We eat silently, pay and are on the road again, south now, cold and misty.“(Cont.Next) First view of Pacific Ocean Crescent City, CA. This photo is taken at an elevation of no more than ~0020 feet, but here and later beach photos my GPS reads around 30 feet Evidently my GPS (at least in this area) reads elevation higher by thisamount.. Many other places I have given additional elevation data (as was available) so you can judge the comparative accuracy of my GPS elevation numbers. I have decided to always report my GPS readings as given by my hand held receiver, and allow you, the reader, to decide how and when to make elevation corrections.
