It was funny, I hiked about 3/4 mile through the woods to get up and behind the lighthouse and stayed there until the sun had gone down. The terrain was quite steep and when I decided to leave it was DARK, Imagine that! I had to use my camera flash to get out. Kind of scary but definitely fun!
I know the feeling. I've done a lot of hiking/backpacking. A memorable one in the Cascades in late September. Some snow still on the groud from the last winter. Virtually no one else in the Park - except weird howling sounds in the night put me in mind of a bigfoot apparition. Like the Harry of the Hendersons. If so,would have been a happy encounter, I guess.
