| Strawberry Hill |
| As of this date, the two RV Gypsies found Strawberry Hill to be the most fascinating place they have visited in the continental USA. They spent hours just watching the waves and the froth. |
| The tunnel leading to Strawberry Hill - The sign over the tunnel indicates that lights will flash if bicycles are in the tunnel and the speed limit for cars is lowered. | |

Views to the left and
right of the climb down Strawberry Hill |
|
 |
 |
Lee starts down towards
the Pacific Ocean |
|
 |
 |
| Standing on this small cliff is a small island of rocks. Waves come in from the left side of the rocks (as seen below in the photo on the left), and waves come in from the right side of the rocks (as seen in the photo below on the right). | |
 |
 |
| The waves from the left meets with the waves from the right, and explodes into bubbling white froth and splashes upwards. What an amazing sight. | |
 |
 |
 |
 |
After the froth combines
in the middle, it separates, and goes back to the side of the cliff it
came from. The wave and froth action repeats over and over again. |
|

 |
Lee plays with the white
froth |
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
| More waves crash upon the rocks before rounding the corner and becoming milky white froth. The splash in the photo on the right looks like spilled milk. | |

| A series of photos showing Karen just sitting and enjoying the view, when the waves start coming in, turning to white froth and exploding up to where her feet are dangling, forcing her to move up higher. | |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
Now the froth is attacking
Karen's shoes, so she has to move upward |
|
 |
 |
| Karen points downward to where she was sitting and the small bits of white froth that remains where her feet were. | |
 |
 |
All that action has Karen
sitting higher up on the rocks. |
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
 |
|
| The white froth splashes upon the rocks, then slowly cascades down the rocks, and heads back out to the ocean | |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| During a lull in the waves, Lee crosses over onto the rock island. Karen tried to cross but the waves started coming in too quickly and Lee found himself in trouble trying to get back because when the waves come in, the water and froth are deep enough to soak your shoes. | |
 |
|
| The waves are getting bigger and the froth is splashing higher, so the two RV Gypsies decide it is time to leave. | |
