Took two weeks off and, after helping my Mom move in Grants Pass, I worked my way back down California's lost coast via Shelter Cove / Chamise Mountain Road / Usal Road and highway 1.
Did some ab diving, general camping, hiking, etc. (drank much cervesa)
After a brief 24 hour respite at home I headed up to Courtright Res. about 2 miles in to the Dusy Ershim for some camping and unsuccessful fishing.
Nice to see the very large herds of Roosevelt elk on the north coast in some remote places.
Usal and Chamise Mtn were very interesting roads that take you through the heart of the Lost Coast. Where Usal and Chamise meet in the middle of nowhereville, you can go down to Needle Rock and Bear Harbor state park and camp / dive / kayak. Very beautiful and not to miss.
Usal was on the verge of being impassable. One more rain and she will be way too sloppy as there were already some very deep, very wet mud holes. Made the 21+ mile trip south to Usal Creek in 3.5 hours.
As usual, Usal Creek and the beach there were absolutely beautiful. I hit perfect weather for the entire Lost Coast portion of the trip. 80+ degrees on the coast. Crystal clear and hardly any wind.
Here are a few pics to start with...

. I try and make it up there at least 1x a year. I did however camp out for 4 days at Courtright Res. It is such an awesome place.
