Yesterday I had to fly out to El Paso TX for a one day work thing. Getting home at 8am and having the next several days off I was itching to hit the beaches. Once the plane landed and I got home I quickly grabbed my charged excal and raced off to a local beach I've yet to hit. It was a very popular beach that is encased by cliff's. There's a stairway to get down. I opted for a popular trail path. On the way down I noticed people at the bottom. Two guys laying side by side. I pondered the obvious question, then thoughy,... so what if they are..... I walked around a corner and it zigged back again and as I looked down I noticed that now these two "Gentlemen" were engaging in, should I say... activities that should NEVER be seen by my eyes... That was a problem in it's own right but it was magnified by the fact that this was a VERY highly used public beach and about 12 kids were about to make their way down. I yelled at them to stop and that I called the police and I took photo's to prove that they were being very indecent. They threw a little hissy and then left.... ..... Two dollars in change and 2 hrs later (small beach and the low tide was only giving exposed bedrock and zero targets), I left for another beach.
At this other, well hit beach, I was getting the usual disappointments of coins and caps and then it started to lightly rain. Cool!!! People will split.. Then it started to RAIN... Even better... Then lightening was hitting the ground (3 times), then it started to hail. (IN JUNE.. In SO CAL).. then the wind started getting violent. Then lifeguards made people leave. This beach was PACKED. Then an hr later it was empty. Even I couldn't hold out. As I shifted dry sand it would blow all over the place including my face, I was being pelted by heavy rain and feared a lightening strike. I had to bail unsatisfied by the hunt..
This beach was only 10 miles from my house... It took me 45 minutes to get home with bumper to bumper traffic... 4.00 in change and nothing else..6 hrs of detecting diligently ..... WHAT A DAY...
I will be hitting the beach again around 11pm tonight because I KNOW people were jumping up and running for their cars and thats a VERY good thing for people like us.
