The “trail” out was quite mushy in places and our boots proved themselves to be

waterproof and to have good tread. The only problem is that the muddy soil wants to

pull the boots right off your feet! We had forgotten that it’s a pretty good hike around

to the Cemetery but we made it in good order and took a couple of pictures and

listened to the burbling bellies of the elephant seals and the “arfing” of a couple of

young fur seals, one of which cried pretty continuously. In addition to these fellows,

we also got to see molting king penguins and a few gentoos as well. Some folks said

at Recap that they had espied a chinstrap or two as well, but Kay and I did not see

them.
