Las Ramblas Loop
Cappie’s Scoop: You never know what you might find on a hike! When mom said we’re going to a flagpole area known as Patriot Point, I just thought we’d get a great view and my picture near a flag. However, when we got there, we saw a mailbox. Who gets mail on the top of this hill! We looked inside and there was a notebook with lots of people writing messages. Mom read a few aloud and they were funny. If you do this hike, read a few of the pages and get a good laugh. We signed the book, added our funny message and closed the mailbox. This trail has very little shade so go early, enjoy some good views of the ocean and don’t mail anything from that box! Don’t hesitate to add YOUR scoop in the comments below!
