(Just\\nas a side note, I've never actually been in there but it looks like it would\\ndefinitely be worth a trip sometime). We left my car somewhere near there and\\ntook Sam's car out to the trailhead.

Well,\\nthere was an unmarked fork in the road, so we opted first for the right fork,\\nwhich seemed to head in the direction Sam remembered. And before we could reach\\na dead end, there was a large tree down over the road. So, we turned back and\\nchecked out the other path. On that one we drove by a well established\\ntrailhead and continued on until that road dead-ended. There we talked to some\\nother hikers and found that from there you could hike down to near the ocean\\nlevel--not the hike Sam did before, which went up to a high viewpoint. So,\\nafter some deliberation we decided to try the blocked off road again. We parked\\nbefore the fallen tree and walked to the dead end, where we tried to find the\\nremnants of Sam's long lost trail. We ended up finding some sort of trail\\n(perhaps a deer trail) and followed it for a while, until we heard the sound of\\na car passing by depressingly close. It turns out that our deer trail was now\\nparalleling the road only about twenty feet away! Sam tunneled through the\\nthick brush that hid it from us and sure enough, the road. We had a good laugh\\nabout that, took some victorious photos and walked back to the car along the\\nroad. So, at that point we gave up on the original trail we were hoping to go\\non and decided to check out one of the two options we saw on the left fork.\"), mdx(Image, {\n    image: props.images['hazardous-cliffs.jpg'],\n    alt: \"A sign that reads \\\"Hazardous Cliffs\\\" with Sam and Elyssia holding up\\n       Cliff Bars on either side of it\",\n    mdxType: \"Image\"\n  }), mdx(\"p\", null, \"The established trailhead we had seen was one maintained by an organization\\ncalled \", mdx(\"a\", {\n    parentName: \"p\",\n    \"href\": \"https://www.nature.org/en-us/\"\n  }, \"The Nature Conservancy\"), \" I believe at\\nleast part of the land we hiked through was private land that this organization\\nhad purchased in order to protect it. The trail was really nice and yet not\\noverly developed-looking. We hiked maybe a mile in to the high viewpoint where\\nwe had some amazing views up and down the coast. We decided to stop there and\\nbrave the \\\"hazardous cliffs\\\" as our lunch spot. Sam and Elyssia graciously\\nshared some of their lunches with me as I hadn't thought that far ahead this\\ntime. After we ate we hiked back to the car, refreshingly not tired, and headed\\nback into town. We decided to get dinner and had some tasty Thai food together\\nfollowed by dessert at Sam's place. He had recently bought an amazing new home\\nCD player and flat speakers almost as tall as me that blew me away with their\\nsound. We hung out there and listened to music and talked until almost\\nmidnight. It was a really fun day and really nice to get to know Sam and\\nElyssia a little better.
