GTG @ Cape Disappointment, WA coast.

Postby AlmostThere » Mon Apr 30, 2012 11:16 pm

Marda and I spent all last week at Cape Disappointment SP in Ilwaco, WA. For the most part we had glorious weather! Took many long walks on the beach and even hiked a trail up to the lighthouse which, afterward we found out was labeled as "difficult"! Ended up a ranger going off duty from the lighthouse gave us a ride back to our rigs. What a Godsend!

Walking our dogs on the beach.

Lots and lots of driftwood from the many storms.

We made it to the lighthouse!

What a great tour and excellent pictures! I loved it! It's so neat that dogs can go on the beaches out there, as here, in FL, all beaches are off limits to dogs. Hence, I don't visit beaches half as often as I would like to.

Thanks for sharing your adventure!!

Looked like a great GTG! The year I went to Alaska, 2006, we stayed in Blaine, Wa waiting for the weather to clear so we could leave. I loved the beach there. There was a storm one night and the next day my sis and I were walking on the beach and I found about 6 large oysters. Now, I knew it was against the law to take them, but they were just gonna lay on the beach (they had washed way up above tide level) and die. I was wearing a loose sweatshirt and somehow those oysters ended up in Hope....sure do love fried oysters! :mrgreen:

Great pictures! And thank heavens for helpful rangers!
