The high tides flooded beaches...
There was serious erosion of the beaches
A boat washed up on Big Corona Beach...surfers were not bothered.
Beaches were ordered closed by Gov Nuisance...no one cared
The Jetty was closed...neither surfers nor fishermen cared.
The Old Glory Boat Parade, sponsored by Post 291 of the American Legion, celebrated America on July 4th.

Bumpass Hell is a collection of steaming 200-300 degree gurgling hot pools. A lone photographer captures the scene.
The steamy pools with eau de sulfer color the surrounding landscape
No geysers, just smelly steam.
Trails of hot water lead to and from the bubbling pools.
A terrific short trip to cruise a sparsely populated lake, hike a National Park, enjoy fine wine and company and hear and smell mountain pines.
Importantly, The Shadow was everywhere.
