Greetings NWDC Peeps,

Happy Beautiful sunny Wednesday!
We should all be at Keystone today instead of work!

Anyways I thought I'd share a few snaps from my away mission to fox island. I got to dive with Gdog, Vjw & StephenMartin. Was a super fun time. The sun was shining down into the colorful kelp below. Lots of neat critters out and about!

Yup! Once to bring down my fins/pony, Then next to get in water with my camera. Then get out all happy after dive and hike to top... then go back again to get fins/pony. LOL I was so hungry after.

That trail blows. Almost blows chunks except I had 32% to suck on for the climb. Should be a sign at the top warning anyone over 50 to proceed at their own risk. And about 6 benches for rest stops. And some Shera people for us old folk. :rawlings:
So after all that, yes, it was worth it!!

Very nice pics, Jess.
For your info, Keystone this morning was totally fogged in. It stayed dark and gray during my whole dive!
And visibility wasn't much neither.
No idea about the ball, but the one before is Disc-top tunicate... :)

wow cool! thanks Jan! Not sure what the blob is, maybe some kind of eggs?
Sad about Keystone viz, but still better then being at work. It looks so nice out side!

I'm so proud of you Gdog, you did great! I agree, we need to install a escalator or some kind of tram system for our dive gear :)

Which trail did you go on?
I never think it's that bad.
What day did you go? How was the current?
