Who is ready for some Clams?

Washington biologist expects good clam season

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ABERDEEN, Wash. — The razor clam season is just weeks away and the Department of Fish and Wildlife says it should be a good one.

Shellfish biologist Dan Ayres said at two meetings this week in Grays Harbor County that numbers are up at Twin Harbors and Long Beach. If you’re looking for the bigger clams, Ayres says Copalis and Mocrocks will be the beaches to dig.

For the first time in three seasons Ayres says the northernmost beach on the coast, Kalaloch (KLAY’-lock), also will be open for digging.

KXRO reports the season could start on the third weekend in October and it may include a New Year’s Eve dig.

Long Beach Kite Festival makes the New York Times!

http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2009/05/31/travel/20090531-Summer-Weekends.html#5

(You’ll have to scroll through to weekend Aug 22-23)

Go try your luck at one of the best kite flying venues in the world, the Long Beach Peninsula, known to its loyalists as the World’s Longest Beach and the home of the World Kite Museum and the Washington State International Kite Festival. The festival, held annually in the third week of August, draws kite fliers from all over the world, along with tens of thousands of spectators who marvel at the intricate choreography of so many colorful kites. But there is also plenty of room to buy a kite and take to the skies yourself.

The World Kite Museum has changing displays of colorful and historic kites (303 Sid Snyder Drive in downtown Long Beach, blocks from the boardwalk; 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily; $5). The Long Beach Peninsula Visitors Bureau Web site lists lodging from camping and motels to rental apartments and bed-and-breakfasts.

Discovery Trail

Discovery Trail was surfaced with compacted gravel from the Beard’s Hollow parking lot to SR100 loop this week. Word is that State Parks requested this section not be paved because it is steep and will be slippery in the wet season. This being done, Discovery Trail is now fully surfaced, completing the 8.2-mile commemorative project.

Starting at the Port of Ilwaco, at Bart Kenworthy’s Condor Sculpture, surface streets and sidewalks take walkers a short number of blocks to 4th & Main, which is the off-street trail head. Enjoy several bridges as you go through forest groves and take in some wonderful views, including an overlook of Ford’s Dry Lake/Holman Lake that is expansive and unique. This section of the trail is the most challenging, with both easy and steep changes in elevation.

The trail continues into Beard’s Hollow, where it begins its journey northward through the beach dunes. Enjoy gentle twists and turns through riparian habitat with ocean vistas. Many footpaths leave the trail to the beach itself and multiple sculptures and other markers are found along the way. Benches are available in some, but not all, sections.

The northern trail head is at 26th North, just in front of The Breakers and marked by “Clark’s Tree”, an 18-foot bronze sculpture commemorating Captain Clark carving his initials in a tree at the most northwestern point of the Corps of Discovery’s journey westward. [Clark's Tree Cam]

Restrooms and drinking water can be found at the Port of Ilwaco and at the south end of the Boardwalk in Long Beach.
