The Country

The marina that my family lives in is as blue collar as the peninsula it floats against. Every time I visit I have to remind my self why I left. This trip was as good as any. thanks to our friends and family who took care of us. See you this winter.

Maybe not as good as it used to be as far as wave quality, but still packs an epic sunrise. Everything changes and some things never do.

Emily loves her Uncle Michael and Uncle Mike is as uncomfortable with it as ever.

Neilwaukee would like to thank all the little people.

Thanks to Mike and Dave and Everyone else at Mervin for the tour, the shwag and the skate sesh. See you soonish.

 Our Campsite at La Push. The beach is still beautiful, but times of course, are changing and the wave quality has been rapidly decreasing due to sand dredging from the harbor in the last few years. there are still hike in options if you know where to look but our summertime haven may be seeing its "Twilight" years... get it? thanks for indulging me that one.

view from the tent.

 the local tribe once put the heads of there enemies on stakes on this island to ward off intruders.Now they sell them Vampire and Werewolf trinkets and cheap beer.  Nice little A-frame down there...

 Emily and the peanut gallery.

 Come sit down and have a beer or four.

 The northwest sometimes needs to be put into a scale we can comprehend. Here's Suzanne and Emily doing there best to do that for you.

 Eric and Loren Dukes are our good friends and take  care of us when we're there. Thanks for Everything guys we'll return the favor when you come visit us.

Final morning breakfast feast. Gotta finish up the perishables.
