With a later and lower low tide today (8:08am, -1.2’) it was nice to be able to leave the RV park after sunrise and drive during daylight.  The trailer that had parked within 10” of us last night had disappeared as mysteriously had it had appeared when we drew our blinds in the morning. We left the RV at 6:50am and had our two limits of 40 clams by 7:30am.  There was a light drizzle as we initially set out, but the sun broke through the clouds and we had nice weather for the rest of the morning. Janet actually said “That was fun!” As we walked back up the beach to the RV.  

We cleaned and put up our catch back at the RV park and fried up a couple of clams breaded with Krusteaz in butter for breakfast.  We took a nice walk along the Connor Creek and through Griffith-Priday state park.  The only beach access to that state park is via the same pedestrian bridge that is next to our RV park, so we circled back and walked south about a mile on the beach, hoping to spot a glass float, but only found crab molts and drift wood.

Lunch was Campbell’s chicken noodle soup and cheese sandwiches with potato chips, followed by naps.  Dinner was pasta with Alfredo and green beans, but with canned chicken from Costco instead of clams since we had already put up the clams in the freezer.  

Tomorrow’s low tide is -1.1’ at 8:50am and Copalis is open, so it’s right in our back yard.
