[CINC] Adventures on San Miguel Island.

[Paul Jr. Petrich]

Great photos Staci! Thanks. For those who might consider this trip ext year, usually , after the re-enactment landing, the entire party will lead you on a good exercise hike up to the Cabriilo Monument. However, Saturday's surf did not allow shuttling of passengers the usual 6 at a time to the beach ( 0nly 4 ), so it took longer to get everyone on the beach. All of Cabrillo's party, as seen in photos, did do it in one load!
