Anyone who followed me on Twitter early this August may have noted my increasingly desperate posts about grunion ( a little fish that comes up to breed on Southern California beaches) . I had organized a Cub Scout Grunion Run, only to discover that the grunion were not running anywhere in the San Diego area. When I desperately contacted the leading grunion experts, they informed me that grunion are very sporadic by August. Optimal conditions to spot grunion occur in late April/early June.
The hard lesson I took away from my quixotic search for grunion is this, do your research! If I had contacted the grunion experts before I planned the outing, my scouts would have been alot happier and surrounded by fish. Instead, as you see above, we had a blast walking up the beach at 10:30 at night, eating brownies and juice, and heading home to our beds.
Which brings me to the second lesson of the evening. Even failed adventures can be fun!
Happy Trails,
Bridget
