Ocean Cove - CAM's C5XIII
Posted: Mon Oct 12, 2009 11:23 amOcean Cove -- a beautiful location! Dave A directed us to a path that led to a stunning walk along the cliffs where you could view the divers in action. The days were somewhat brisk but it didn’t stop anyone from a good time. Everyone was in good spirits. Several campers in the area stopped by to check out all the “cute little trailers” and probably went back to their enormous RV’s with the same thought (“Honey, Our RV has no originality!”). We had a great potluck Saturday night with lots of tasty items. Everything was fabulicious (new word….made it up right now). Saturday’s fire consisted of a combination “burning chair/burning man event.” Dave brought a rustic wooden chair to burn and topped it off with a very tall golfing trophy…complete with little trophy guy on top. Well, maybe it was more “melting man” than burning man. There was a scare towards the end of the evening when another group’s fire got a little crazy. We saw huge flames shooting way up in the air and thought a tree had caught fire in the process. Several of us who were parked in that direction ran to our trailers thinking “oh crud, are we going to have to hitch up in the dark and leave?” Luckily, not the case.
Thanks again to Dave A for all his organizing and fire skills. Thanks to Team Hazard for not only diving for the abalone but cooking it up as well. Thanks to Eunice and Ken who, noticing our stove trouble on Saturday morning, adopted us and our bowl of beatened eggs and made us breakfast – complete with amazingly good bacon. Thanks to the guy at the fish cleaning table who gave us our first taste of fresh sea urchin. Thanks to the other Dave, Ocean Cove’s campground host, who besides his colorful early morning vocabulary (directed to his fishing buddies who perhaps had one too many “cocoas” the night before), shared his catch of the day with us (even cleaned and filleted them…. even better).
