Retirees traveling thru Canada, the U.S. and Mexico. Their adventures of Canada/US border crossing, getting lost, finding Long Beach along with a great pictorial spread of the Boardwalk, Cape Disappointment Lighthouse, Discovery Trail, North Head Lighthouse, the “longest beach in the world”. Quite descriptive and entertaining. Take a look here.

Clam Dates Announced
Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife
September 29, 2008
Contact, Dan Ayres, (360) 249-4628
Razor clam season scheduled to open Oct. 16 at most ocean beaches
OLYMPIA * The first razor-clam dig of the fall season will get under way Oct. 16 if marine toxin tests show the clams are safe to eat, the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) announced today. Additional digging opportunities are planned through mid-December.
Three evening digs are tentatively scheduled at Twin Harbors, Copalis and Mocrocks Oct. 16-18, while Long Beach is scheduled for two evening digs Oct. 17 and 18. Digging will be restricted to the hours between noon and midnight.
Because the low tides for digging occur later in the evening, people should take lights or lanterns with them, said Dan Ayres, coastal shellfish manager for WDFW. He also recommended checking weather and surf forecasts before heading out.
Harvesters are allowed to take no more than 15 razor clams and must keep the first 15 they dig, regardless of size or condition. Each digger’s clams must be kept in a separate container.
A license is required for anyone age 15 or older. Any 2008 annual shellfish/seaweed license or combination fishing license is still valid. Another option is a razor-clam only license available in annual or three-day only versions. Descriptions of the various licensing options are available on the WDFW website at fishhunt.dfw.wa.gov. Clam diggers are not required to display their licenses on outer clothing.
Ayres said that more harvest dates would be announced following the December opener.
Tentative opening dates and evening low tides in October are:
Thursday, Oct. 16 (8:30 p.m. -1.5) Twin Harbors, Copalis, Mocrocks
Friday, Oct. 17 (9:17 p.m. -1.5) Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis, Mocrocks
Saturday, Oct. 18 (10:08 p.m. -1.2) Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis, Mocrocks
