Pictured above in the distance is San Miguel one of the Channel Islands along the Santa Barbara Coastline. This time of the year, we have magnificent clear days.
San Miguel Island is the westernmost of California's Channel Islands, located across the Santa Barbara Channel in the Pacific Ocean, within Santa Barbara County, California. San Miguel is the sixth-largest of the eight Channel Islands at 9,325 acres, including offshore islands and rocks.Wikipedia
There are camping facilities on the island. There are also two airstrips, as well as a research station. There is fossil evidence of dwarf mammoths and a giant mouse. There is a fur seal breeding colony and it is the third largest breeding area, and home of the small foxes.
We have not visited yet, but it is in our plans. Experts have said that the US Channel Islands surpass the Galapagos in terms of nature life as well as the unusual creatures.
Wishing Everyone an abundance of Saturday smiles and a great weekend!
