Item number 4,732 from The Grand To-Do List:

capeflattery_6575

Hike to the very tippity-tip of Cape Flattery,
the northwesternmost point of the continental States,

capeflattery_6530

stand leaning into the wind and rain, back to the trees,
discovering how sea stars and cormorants spend their Mondays,

capeflattery_6561

gazing out to open sea with the spray crashing in your ears,
erosion and subduction shaping the world beneath your very feet,

capeflattery_6552

and all three thousand land-mass miles extending behind you:

Check.
