Hightlights:
This was a quickie out to Salt Creek, WA (on the
Olympic Peninsula) Goal was to try a new
configuration of set up or what is and is not needed and to re-season 2 pans
with Bees Wax. Also to “Test”? some new
Happy Hour Libations.
Details:
I had the “Beer Exchange” (red porta-cooler)
that is meant to try out new beers participatants found. Each person brings a 6-pack so others can try
it. This time we also had a “Taste Test”
for some Tequila. Mine was the Cazadores
and Garrett’s was the Milagro. Shot
glasses indicate the owners. After a
taste test (A-hem, or several JUST to be sure) Milagro came in 2nd place
as indicated by the two glasses bottoms up and the “Smiley Face” of the Lime.
Seasoning the Pans was a bear. Brillo wouldn’t even scratch the surface on
the thick one and boiled water & vinegar for the rusty one. Went through a full 6” Pumis bar grinding away down to the size of a pea
as shown.
Weather was clear skies with 1 day of full fog
and one night of high Winds and Rain. I
left a day early as Wind & Rain just don’t mix and it was time.
A lot to do out in this neck of the woods but
the drives are a little longer than they appear.
Campground was pretty empty as you can see, max
4 spots used on the Tongue spit part.
Access to the sound side was closed for a new bench pad. Any site along the bluff is good, when it’s
not too windy.
A nice trip, I enjoy going out there off
season. Too Crowded during Season so
this was perfect.
