Or as the Other Kat would say, “we are so outa’ here”. It was finally time to leave Scenic Beach and head for sunnier, warmer climes. We had a pretty good send off as you can see, Linda (with Macy, not Tucker), Kat, the other Kat, and Shawn (with Bo). I suppose it was fitting that it was raining when we left. But it was a good summer. One of the warmest summers in a while according to the locals. But as Kat ( my Kat) would say “when’ you enter the gate to Scenic Beach you lose two hours and 20 degrees.” Not far from the truth. It’s dark and cool in the big woods here. I accomplished my Social Security goal which was a real biggy and we enjoyed all the folks we worked with in the park. Not pictured are Richard, Fred and Ruthie, all the Mikes, Art and Judy. And I must not forget that we got the new coach. A good and productive summer.
If you’re ever in the vicinity you should give Scenic Beach a try. It’s not big, nor are the sites, but you can squeeze a 36 footer into some of the sites and just sit back and relax for a few days. Stop at Barbies Café in Seabeck and if you’re lucky they’ll have apple dumplings the day you’re there. You might want to get a box of firewood from Harold, just up the road from Seabeck (pictured) before going into the park. They don’t sell firewood at the park. Then its sit around the campfire roast a hot dog or marshmallow and unwind a bit. The beach isn’t a long walk and the view of the canal and the Olympics is spectacular. Don’t try it on a summer weekend though, not without reservations. I can guarantee, it’s full. That’s because a bunch of other people had the idea before you did and they already knew what a little ‘jewel’ on the Hood Canal it is. And that’s because of the neat group of people I was talking about. We’ll miss them all.
Leaving the whole gang and the S’klallam’ tribe on the beach we headed south. We stopped in Tacoma to have lunch with Heather and Tom, who we had not seen in way to long. They are doing very well as are Birdie and the kids and the rest of the family. It was great to catch up! That was my side of the family. As I write this entry we’re parked at Rick and Tina’s in Alder WA visiting Kat’s side.
If you’re scratching your head about the S’klallam’ tribe I will clear that up a bit. They had come to the park the day we were leaving to harvest Oysters. Part of the treaty I guess. I suppose they’re entitled. But if they are entitled maybe they could be a little better stewards of the environment. And that’s enough politics for this entry and it probably didn’t clear anything up but……………. I’ll take comments as they come!
