The trails founder/developer is a local guy name "Oyster Jim". Anybody named "Oyster Jim" has to have a pretty interesting story. I've attached a link to a website that has a little bit of his story. I like his quote: "I start with impossible and work backwards from there". I bet he's a pretty entertaining character.

The pictures that I took really don't do it justice so if you are interested in seeing and learning more about it I would suggest you also look at the link to the trail's website. One of the things that we really enjoyed about this walk was that while it was along the coast line there were benches with incredible lookouts about every 50 yards. Even with these outlooks being so close together because of the winding trail every view was different.

All said and done we probably did about 12-14 miles yesterday, good stuff!
