Touched by the Tolowa--Part Two






The Indian Shaker Church of Washington at Smith River














This sure looks like my Jerusalem Sage.....but it is orange and not yellow????

















The road seems to run right into the ocean at Kellog beach.
Every wave brings new possibilites for agate hunters. The shell fragments that have been polished by the surf are each little works of art. The shapes of the stones are as intriguing as the colors and patterns they sport.
















































The weather was superb. Imagine almost 80 degrees in November! Kellog beach offers agates to those willing to search. The first woman we met leaving the beach showed us a huge agate. She said she had walked south for 45 minutes and all she got was the huge one and these few. The next gal we talked to kept only one of the ones she had found, and gave me the rest of them. How is it we keep meeting these "citizens of the universe?"
