The Mystery Monster Solved…

You gotta love the belching, roaring, farting, stinking, scratching, yawning and big-eyed curiosity of sea lions. When I was primitively surviving off the land and had not yet ventured very far in my rowboat, I could hear a deep, growling roar, way off in the distance.  I’ll be honest, it was a little unsettling.  This land is covered with a gloomy, shadowy, dense forest, steeped in ancient legends of supernatural beings of both light and deadly dark and filled with an endless supply of unexplainable events.  It is still wild in many places and it’s energy can easily be felt, even by the most unaware.   As I lay huddled under a sheep-skin sleeping bag, my mind conjured up all kinds of monsters in the dark, even knowing there had to be a reasonable explanation for the eery, rumbling roar I heard every evening.  Eventually, I discovered the mystery monster.  I have since spent countless hours bobbing in my boat entertained by the hundreds of seal lions who gather on their nearby rookery.

Stay tuned for some upcoming epic adventures with my neighbor sea lions…
