JAM OUT WITH YOUR...

this weekend i checked off something that's been on my 'to-do' list for a couple years now...i went clamming! more specifically, i went on a razor clam dig near westport/grayland WA. rolled down solo and met up with a pal named PEELERS and his nice lady Z. Z's parents have a pretty sweet lot up on a hill with a view of the ocean and they let mr PEELERS put his shasta trailer up there. they let me camp out on the lawn!


got down there friday night and we all met up and had some beers. woke up early the next day geared up and set out to slay them clams. the beach was buzzing with lots of funny rednecks. peelers gave me a quick tutorial and we set out on the hunt.


clamming is a feel-good 'sport', you're pretty much guaranteed to bring some food home. i like that. cleaning the clams is a bit involved and takes some time. i don't like that so much.


here's the pics!

good job man--how many PacNW activities are left on your list? Knock em all off and pack up for the southwest next? Can you become the ultimate american outdoorsman?

Good time! Thanks for rolling down. Ugghh... look at that nasty deep fryer. No wonder my stomache hurt. You are a fine clam slayer, something to be very proud of.
