Hiking 6:46:00 [3]
Backpacking trip with Bash to the Superior Coastal Trail.
See her log for story and many pics.
Rain in the morning with more forecast. Packed up wet and decided to do both remaining days to hike out. Wet rocks made hopping dangerous, so it was slower and more work. Visited the petroglyphs but it was too dangerous to see any but the closest ones that had a chain to hang on to.
From then on it was mostly scrambling inland, very technical until we reached the road and treacherous in dumping rain. After that it was a flat hike to the car.
All in all a great trip. Nice 25th anniversary!

Baldhead to Robertson’s Cove.
Slightly less technical scrambling, jaw-dropping scenery, and arrived early at the best campsite ever! Smooth rocky point to read or watch stars, sheltered tent site with bear locker, private sheltered sandy beach one way and rocky beach on the other side. Got all our stuff aired and dried, and swam again.
Large group tried to crash our site at supper time, but we convinced them to move on.

Robertson’s Cove to Barrett Island.
Some scrambling, some sandy beaches, and we had to go inland over a highway bridge to avoid a swim across a river.
I was really getting into cruising along smoothly hopping from rock to rock.
Barrett’s Island cove was beautiful, but no bear bin, no room for a tent on flat ground and the beach was coconut and mango-sized round rolypoly rocks.
We had to make a flat spot for the tent. The big group tried to crash again but it was physically impossible.

Beatty Cove to Bald Head South. More spectacular coastal scrambling on another perfect bluebird day. Long pebble beach before our campsite high on wave-battered rocks. The pebbles are amazing- so varied. Tough to get water in the crashing waves without getting soaked or swept in.

Ryholite Cove to Beattie Cove- felt much better today, skipping on ahead instead of lagging. Another tough technical day of mixed scrambling and lush forest hiking.
Had the entire spectacular beach at Beatty to ourselves, and swam again.

Warp Bay-Gargantua, easy hike but a fairly heavy pack. Gargantua to Ryholite Cove was gorgeous but very technical. My legs were sore and I was lagging- turns out to be WT still in my legs. Nice site in Rhyolite cove, and swam in the evening.
