After All The ZMM Narrator’s Stated Anticipation ….. Finally ….. the Pacific Ocean! There It IS !!

“ …. grey and cold and wet, and Chris and I look and see the water, the ocean, in the distance beyond piers and grey buildings. I remember this was our great goal all these days.
…[Later on down the highway.] We enter a restaurant with a fancy red carpet and fancy menus with extremely high prices. We are the only people here. We eat silently, pay and are on the road again, south now, cold and misty.” (Cont. Next)

First view of the Pacific Ocean, Battery Point, Crescent City, CA. The /\ Above /\ Photo was taken at an elevation of no more than ~20 feet, but here and later beach photos my GPS reads around 30 feet. Evidently, my GPS (at least in this area) reads elevation higher by this amount. Many other places I have given additional elevation data (as was available), so you the reader, can judge the comparative accuracy of my GPS elevation numbers. And I have decided to always report my GPS readings as given by my Handheld GPS Receiver, and thus allow the reader to decide how and when to use my elevation data.
