Abalone Diving

Every Thanksgiving we go to my Aunt's house. It's a big clan gathering so everyone brings something to share. We decided to go up to Salt Point State Park before the abalone season closes (at the end of this month) to bring some fresh "abs" for dinner. We drove up on Monday and went diving on Tuesday and Wednesday. It was picture perfect weather and the diving conditions were great! The picture above was taken standing on the cliff the guys had to hike down. Not a bad view at all.
We have been camping at the park for over 30 years and remember the days when the park only had a outhouse. It is sure different camping with a travel trailer instead of a tent. Last night one of the other groups camping there set-up a full size movie screen outside and played a movie for all the kids. Yes, they finished the movie before 9:00 p.m.

Salt Point is about 3.5 hours away from our house. It's a long drive and there are no scrapbooks along the way. :)
