2011-09-19: Flotsam-jetsam
Flotsam-jetsam is defined as "floating and thrown away stuff". We're always intrigued to see what is on the one at the path from the beach to the campground. Good thing it's there or we might never find our coach and the campground after beachcombing.
2011-09-19: Can You Hear Me Now
Phone service is non-existent at this campground but we can take a short walk to the beach and get a signal.
2011-09-22: Bingo
We went to the Elks bingo here in town. They announced that the last blackout game was worth $650 if you got bingo in 50 numbers or less. Al needed #23 for the longest time. Unfortunately he got bingo on the 53rd number called which put $50 in his pocket.
2011-09-23: Dare II
We have had some rainy, foggy, windy nights and two nights ago this 52-foot wooden fishing vessel, the Dare II, lost power and ran aground here in Ocean Shores because of the fog. There is now a huge clean-up and salvage operation going on.
2011-09-23: Deer
We have seen deer everywhere including a doe and fawn that feed right in the campground. We also saw (but didn't get a photo of) river otters playing in the creek that bisects the upper and lower sections of the campground.
2011-09-24: Jetty
The jetty is always a fun place to go to watch...
2011-09-24: Waves
...the waves and...
2011-09-24: Pelicans
...the pelicans.
2011-09-24: Beach
The sun was shining when we got back to camp so we decided to walk to the beach here at the campground.
2011-09-24: Horses
We saw horses, sand dollars, razor clam shells and...
2011-09-24: Tree
...even this huge tree that has washed up on shore from somewhere.
2011-09-24: Huckleberries
Al found some huckleberry bushes on the path from the beach and had to stop and pick a few.
