Campsite in Morning ...
The mud shows how high the tide came in the early morning. The tide was particularly high due to the strong sothernly breeze. It's a good thing that I put the tent and kayak up pretty high. Also notice the bear bag I set up last night -- not for bears per se, but any other animal looking for some snacks during the night.
