Last week I attempted to backpack the Lost Coast Trail in northern California. It did not go well, and I am grateful to be alive. My blog post, I Lost to the Lost Coast, will go into more detail but the gist of my failure related to not realizing that the low tides were the highest low tides of the year and when it rains on the coast it can turn into a typhoon. It was still an exciting adventure in a unique wilderness, but overall I lost in my attempt.

Wow, that was a heck of a trip! Glad you made it out alive, and when/if I hike that coast (it's on my list, but so are a lot of other places), I will pay keen attention to tides as well as weather forecasts (for whatever they are worth).
And maybe we should figure pack trips like bush-plane landings: any one you walk away from alive is a good one.

Know that is some areas, birds will tale all of the rubber parts they can peel off your car. Ravens or crows might've taken your wiper blades. I have no explanation for your gas cap cover.
