Today I worked on the Putt-Putt golf course all day. This is part of the 9th hole. This hole is close to a small pond. The ducks appear to think the green is their toilet. I spent over an hour and a half power washing the soiled area, about half the length of this holes "green". (Have you heard me mention that fowl (foul) is the most appropriate word in the English language?) Note the loose brick where the hose crosses the line of bricks. There are quite a few bricks that have come loose. The rest of the morning and most of the afternoon I spent cleaning up the concrete under the bricks, cleaning the bottom of the bricks and "re-gluing" them back down. I only managed to repair 20 on the first hole and 14 on the second hole, but at least those two holes are done.
We took a long lunch and drove to Bay City, about 10 miles, to eat at Pacific Oyster. I bet the old blue building in the foreground used to be the restaurant and oyster processing facility. The restaurant is in the front corner of the building in the distance. The rest of the building is an oyster processing facility. While you wait on your food you can walk into the back and view people processing oysters through large plate glass windows. There is also a video on growing, harvesting and processing oysters. It is incredibly labor intensive.
Kathy's meal. I just had fish and fries. Kathy also had a bowl of oyster stew which she said was fabulous. The fish was just OK. The fish at Fishermans Korner was far better.

Below is Pacific Woods Lodge, one of the facilities here at the camp. There are 16 rooms in it plus a large conference area. The rooms are as nice as any motel room that you have ever stayed at. Instead of having two beds each room has one regular bed and a set of bunk beds. The other difference is no TV.
The conference room. The fireplace is very nice. Note the large circular window behind the chimney. You can see it on the photo above.

Kathy's laundry room at Pacific Woods. She spent most of her time working at another, much larger, laundry room that served the remainder of the camp.
Kathy walked the Watseka Trail, here at the camp, while I took a nap. It is only a little over a quarter mile long. She told me I had to walk it to see the stumps (roots) of these uprooted trees, You walk between the stumps. To get an idea of there size the chunk of wood in the foreground came above my mid thigh when I stood next to it.
The pieces of wood on either side of the photo below are part of an old stump. All that is left is the sides. The trail goes through the middle of them.
Part of the trail is along Watseka Creek. It isn't all that big but there is quite a bit of clear water flowing fast down it.
The plan for tomorrow is to head north into Washington. We think we will stay in either Ellensburg, or maybe Yakima, tomorrow night. We plan on spending two or three nights where ever we stop so that we can spend time looking around the area.
Good night to all and may God bless you and yours.
