blog 08-29-15 The Storm Last night was violent. We had a storm that started Friday morning just as a few showers then the major part of the storm hit last night. The winds were ferocious, gusting to 65 mph, with steady winds about 35mph. Back East that would have been a hurricane, here it was an early Fall storm.

We moved slowly this morning and had a leisurely breakfast of bacon, thank you Megan, and cereal. We drove the 2 miles into the little sleepy fishing village of Ilwaco to checkout the boardwalk and someplace for lunch. Ol Bob's had been recommended to us so we ordered lunch and waited for it to be served while overlooking the docks. There was a lot of activity there because of the salmon run and it was pleasant watching the people and boats come and go. I had fish and chips, Megan had a sandwich and salad. We walked the boardwalk and went into a few shops all the ... read more
