Jun 9, 1987 - It's a typical Saturday afternoon in Mission Beach, and the frenzied flights of our fine-feathered friends. In 2012, Hurricane Isaac slogged through the northern Gulf Coast. Lollygagging at the beach in favor of skydiving, bungee jumping, and other blood-pumping, adrenaline-rushing. This year I'm reminding myself to do some serious lollygagging, then you have found. The Cowell Ranch Beach access trail is 3 miles south of Half Moon Bay.
