Southwest Washington – Day 2



Today we enjoyed more sun, letterboxes, and coastal views.  We tried for two letterboxes.  At the first we couldn’t find the box.  Then Barbara said to Bill, “Sorry to step on your foot.”  Bill replied, “That isn’t my foot.”  Low and behold, it was the letterbox.

Unlike most letterboxes, the second box required bushwhacking on a very overgrown trail to retrieve.  Bill valiantly retrieved the box, brought it back to Barbara (waiting on the paved road), and then bushwhacked back to return it.  Barbara thinks she has a pretty wonderful husband. 

Then we spent a little time just exploring the coast – seeing an abandoned military gun battery,

lighthouses,

wildlife,

rocky coast,

and walking the beach at our campground.

  

It was very windy!

And Bill went back to the beach to catch the sunset.
