next, we continued south along the coast. the scenery continued to remind us of the California coast. here are a few shots from the Knight's Point over look. a guy with binoculars said there were seals sunning themselves on the beach in this shot, but all we could see were dots with the naked eye:




there was a hike on this beach that we skipped since it was hot and it seemed like it would mostly be exposed.

we drove on to the town of Haast. they had a nice visitors center with exhibits. we spent some time going through that and then walked around the building. they some fun water falls and a pond:


i consider it a minor miracle that finn and/or debbie didn't wind up in the water:


we got info about campsites from the park ranger. we also did a short walk through a man made wetland area. it turned out to be a neat little stop.
