Happy New Year 2006

Ken and I decided to head to the beach to do some razor clam digging and surf perch fishing to celebrate the New Year.


The picture on the right is the wind actually holding me up! It was so windy there! The storm at the beach was beautiful to watch, but it wasn't the best conditions for surf perch fishing. Ken did try it the second day we were there and ended up catching one!! Woo Hoo!
Then it was time to try Razor Clam digging.....
We had to wait until the tide was out, and unfortunately that was after dark. So we all headed out with our lanterns and looked for razor clam spots, and looked and looked and looked and looked and looked!!! There was a little bit of digging, just to see if we could find ANYTHING-but all for not! Not one of us ended up finding a razor clam :( When it started raining again, we all decided to call it quits for the night and head back to camp.
So far, luck had not been on our side for that camping trip...then it got a little worse. We were getting ready to hit a local tavern to watch the Seahawk game and noticed Ken's tire was flat! Ugh, then got to the tavern and the game had started three hours earlier, so we missed the game, then noticed that the rail on top of the camper had been ripped right out of the roof of the camper by a branch. Ken did suprisingly well with everything going wrong!!!
So back to camp we went...discouraged and in the middle of another rain shower.
We scrapped our plans to attempt razor clam digging again and just built a raging fire. Ken became quite the fire photographer
and I knit my way through the rest of the trip! Check out my super cool knitting headlight!
Though we head a few bumps along the way, it was a fun start to the New Year.
Hope your new year is a great one!
