May 13, 2008 Dansk tekst til venstre English text on the right Dagens baghave: Backyard of the Day: Limekiln State Park, Limekiln, Monterey County, California Limekiln State Park is located just south of Lucia in Monterey County, California   Vi vågnede til morgen på stranden i Limekiln, efter at være faldet i søvn i aftes til dønningerne på klipperne. We woke up this morning on the beach at Limekiln, after falling asleep last night to the sound of the surf.       Her løber Limekiln Creek ud i Stillehavet ~ Here Limekiln Creek runs into the Pacific Ocean.     Vi deler campingplads med ham her ~ Vi share a camp site with this guy.

Fra stranden gik vi en tur op langs Limekiln Creek, og det varede kun få minutter, før vi var i skoven. From the beach we went for a walk along Limekiln Creek, and it was only a few minutes till the forest.         Her er mest sequoia træer ~ The trees are mostly sequoias.

Skovjordbær ~ Wild strawberries

Limekiln Creek

Og så kom vi til det sted, der har givet Limekiln (Limstens-ovn) navn: Ude i skoven står fire kæmpestore ovne af stål og sten, som man i 1880erne brugte til udvinding af kalk. And then we got to the place that gave Limekiln its name: Here in the woods are four giant ovens of steel and rock, which were in the 1880 used to extract lime from surrounding rock.

Tilbage ved stranden ~ Back at the beach
