After visiting Indian Beach at Ecola State Park a couple of weeks ago, Ethan wanted to go there again for his birthday. For YEARS it's been Ethan's dream to have a campfire on the beach. He finally realized that dream last weekend. On this visit it was a beautifully sunny day. We were able to watch the surfers surf and the sun set as we (Jason) set up the firepit, hauled the firewood to our spot and started the fire. We BBQed steak skewers on the fire for dinner and told stories. It didn't occur to any of us that we would be going back to our car in the dark, so we didn't bring a flashlight. After it got dark all we could hear was the waves crashing against the rocks. It was kind of uncomfortable not knowing where the waves were. The word that kept going through my mind was, "tsunami". Caleb thought we were all going to die, so he wanted me to constantly take pictures of the shore with my flash so he knew where the water was. When it was time to go, we made a human chain and used the light of one Blackberry and my camera screen (which wasn't much) to make our way back to our car. I've never seen us work together so well as we stumbled through the dark!
