Friday July 6th. Short trip today of only about 60 miles north to the US/Canada border. We are camped at the community of Birch Bay, which is at the southern edge of Blaine Washington. The town of Blaine is the farthest north that you can go in Washington State. Birch Bay’s claim to fame is its large tide drop and large exposed bottom at low tide. People carry chairs out sit in the sand, kids dig holes, people walk way out across the flats, heads bend down, looking for whatever. I’m not making this up; they advertise it in their visitor literature. Like Millie said, they’ve just got to do with what they’ve got.
We haven’t been to Downtown Blaine yet, it’s just about ½ mile from here, we’ll see it tomorrow when we go there to cross the border. The Blaine visitor literature, says it used to be a seedy border town with racy movie theaters and book stores? I thought we left the Mexican border about a thousand miles south of here!
Anyhow, we’re in another Thousand Trails campground here in birch Bay. We picked a spot in the open area; it is good to be in the sun again. The last couple parks were heavily wooded; in fact our last campsite was under a canopy of trees so thick we hardly saw the sun at all.
PS: Haven’t seen Sasquatch yet, but I did see a coyote this morning, he looked healthy not like some of the scroungy looking ones I’ve seen in the elsewhere.
