What a great time! We had a clamming shovel, but really needed another clamming tool, which we were able to borrow from another camper. And in short order, with Bryan operating the tool and the kids getting the clams, we had a mess. More than a mess. These are razor clams. When we cleaned them, we only removed a small amount of dark (intestinal?) matter, all the white of the clam is edible and delicious. Of course getting all the sand out of them was another challenge and they had to be washed thoroughly a couple of times. An eagle came every night and sat in the trees behind our camp. The campground is quite crowded with locals and tourists. We went to wash clothes and take showers this afternoon. It was fun, there was a bar and restaurant there too, so as while we were waiting for the clothes to dry, the kids ate cheeseburgers and the adults had a beer in the bar. Something for everyone! Kayla and Savanah found the jail there too! This is the day that I "rearranged" (aka, totally destroyed any remaining semblance of order) in my truck so that everyone and the laundry could fit in there for the ride down to the bar-restaurant-laundry-shower place. Life was never the same again.
