Yesterday Devon and I investigated the old abandoned ship that i mentioned here.

When we arrived to the nearest mapped point to the ship, Possession Lane, the area was engulfed in fog, although the rest of the area was having a bright and sunny day. We passed lots of signs reminding us to get back to our cars before dusk. We found an crazy man made structure built out of seaweed and drift wood. There was no road, path, or beach for that matter, so for a mile we climbed over massive sharp rocks covered in barnacles and slime, bordered on one side by the icy water and on the other by a frequently used pair of train tracks. (btw, my sneakers proved useless, so I leapt boulders in my socks.)

When we finally arrived at the shipwreck we were greeted by “no tresspassing” signs and an unfriendly couple…(although they were friendly enough to let Devon snap a few photos of the ship from a distance, instead of shooting us).

On the long way back we saw a seal splashing around in the water, and a blue heron (which is a beautifully-majestic looking bird that makes the most ridiculous honking noise… whatever made them must have had a good sense of humor).

But yeah. It was an awesome date/day spent running for our lives. Devon made an awesome photo-journalistic entry about it here. Also, I took a couple of goofy looking photos that I’ll post when my camera re-charges and i can transfer & upload my pics.
