Eric - At 6'6"3/4 I told you that you were tall enough to see the ocean! Congrats on finding great views on a beautiful day.
Some people are really fit at eighty; thankfully I still have many years to get into shape…

Best & most convincing video pics I have ever seen! Funny though how people with binoculars cannot be sure & your daughter says she cannot see it but. Brent who knows the area very well knows its there & can see it with 100% certainty.
So what color cape should I get you Hero EP?

My daughter was not there, that is Brent's son wanting up so he could also see the ocean views!

Well I'm glad that's settled. I always knew that you should be able to see the Indian Ocean from up there. ;) Er, I mean, the Adriatic Sea.

Nice! Does that mean we don't have to do King's more to see if you can see the ocean?

I was driving over highway 26 at the same time and thinking it sure looked clear - ideal ocean viewing from King's weather. If we had left earlier, I would have taken highway 6 and popped up there :) Then I would have seen EP which would have been awsome :D

Dang Jerry, that would have been awesome to meet you out hiking!! :)

Crus, yeah, I kept saying Pacific knowing how silly that sounded, just didn't want any confusion for the
non believers. :lol:

Peder, I thought about climbing a tree for more ocean viewing but couldn't find any cedars around.
