after five years in seattle i finally made it to the west coast. the lack of bouldering being the main cause for my extended absence, but of course there is more to life than little rocks. a mere 3 hour drive gave way to big sandy beaches, rich forests and a cozy cabin perched just above the tide. people complain about the long gray winters here, but the mild winters often lend themselves to many a sunny day in reasonable temps conducive to a plethora of outdoor activities, like clamming. low tide came a bit after dark, and the gun-toting, lantern-laden clammers hit the beach in full force. i think it took about 1.5 hours to hit our limit. the dogs may have enjoyed it more than the peoples.
don't build that cottage too close to the fast-eroding beaches
only part of the 75 clam bounty
irresistible, although see jess' post below for one of the final products, new england clam chowder is next.
