A Western Washington Beach

We have had fires all over the state!

One of our rain forests burnt as a matter of fact.

This NW portion of the state hasn't had the fires. I am grateful for that even though we do have some smoke.

View from Inside a log on 1st Beach

 Yes, I'm inside this log!

 Come on it, it's cozy as long as it's not high high tide..or a storm

It's fun to run on these logs, it builds balance and stamina

At least walking them is good for you too!

1 at beach getaway trip, Quileute Nation

We had so much fun per usual running logs and playing in surf. 

Stuff like we always do around here! 

"Thousands of winters before the arrival of the White Drifting-House people (ho-kwats), the Quileute Indians and the ghosts of their ancestors lived and hunted here. 

For as long as the ageless memory of legend recalls, the Quileutes flourished in the territory which originally stretched from their isle-strewn Pacific beaches along the rain forest rivers to the glaciers of Mt. Olympus. 

Today, Quileutes need only lift their eyes to see the burial place of chiefs atop James Island, or A-Ka-Lat -- translated as "Top of the Rock". This sense of cultural continuity is their birthright and heritage. Though much has changed, Quileute elders remember "back in the days" when the "old people" dared challenge kwalla, the mighty whale, and who recounted the exploits of wily raven or bayak, who placed the sun in the sky."Quileute Nation

Log strewn Beach, I used to run these logs, me and my Daisy..

Recent Beach Trip to 1st beach , LaPush

Climbed around on logs and played in surf. 

Beautiful days and enjoyed the resort

So natural there. 

Had to laugh. A man paid for his room and said," got a pool, right?", the girl answered, "yeah, we have the whole Pacific Ocean!"

Still chuckling...

These are common on our beaches

Foam on the Beach, Remnants of a Great Wave...

An Amazing beach Rialto is..

La Push at the beach.

THese logs at 2nd Beach near LaPush are so delightful, to see the power of the ocean, and imagine these giants being tossed around.

Somebody left a baseball mitt, a pillow, and some gatorade, maybe they will be back?
