A few weekends back, Emily, myself, Carl, Bobby, and a few friends drove over to Newport to go camp in a yurt for a few days. Our original plan was for Bobby and me to go diving for some fun. In the end, we never even tried to get into the water. A very high tide coupled with monsoon rains, hail, snow, ice, 30 foot swells, breakers coming into the parking lot at the south jetty, and logs rolling everywhere in the water made us a bit nervous to get into the drink. We still had a grand time hanging out in the yurt, trying and failing to catch crabs, and walking to the beach to watch the storm.
Here are a few pictures.
