Trip Log: Outrigger Canoe Sailing the California Channel Islands

Step 22Strolling and Sightseeing at Scorpion Ranch

Strolling and Sightseeing at Scorpion Ranch
We took a stroll to see this part of the island. The rusty machinery from the old ranch is still there, along with the blacksmith shop where they used to repair it. Caves are abundant on the island. This one was made into a stable or hut. I wouldn't sleep in a cave myself due to book-induced superstitions. I once read about patient 0 who caught the first modern case of marburg/ebola in a cave. The island mice carry Hanta virus, and for all I know have filled the dust of the caves with it.

The campground has a spigot of running water. No warning sign and a taste no worse than the water on the mainland. There's also a magnificent composting latrine with skylights and a mini interpretive center with bronze terrain models of the islands.
