Interlude: Charlotte Mountain

I was at the coast this weekend for my church retreat and hiked up Charlotte Mountain with two friends. The trail head is within Twin Rocks Friends Camp so it's not really a public trail. The trail starts out along a creek with beautiful skunk cabbage and then heads up through a very lush second growth forest. We enjoyed looking at the big old growth stumps and the plank holes 19th century loggers cut into them. At the top we could see down to the beach and the rocks that give the camp it's name. Conversation was good and the day beautiful.
