The local valley newspaper ran a color photo spread this week covering the 4th of July activities, and what a good time it was in town. That's Nova (on the left) with three of her friends at TwispWorks after the parade.
Speaking of the family, they are currently backpacking a 16-mile stretch of wilderness on the Washington coast. The logistics of such a trip coming from all the way from the Methow Valley are complicated (not to mention carrying five days of food for a hungry family.)
Today they park their car at Ozette Ranger Station, then the trailhead shuttle service transports them and their gear around the peninsula to Shi Shi Beach, where they begin the hike.
An almost unworldly beauty exists on the wild and remote Pacific coast, and it can only be reached on foot. Over the years, they have done several different routes along the coast. Of course, no cell phone service, so we always look forward to the camping pictures when they return to civilization.
