Two years ago I came through the Pacific North West at this very time in the year. Two years ago our politician’s bickering and muscle flexing caused a Government shutdown (not to their own salaries of course) which closed down many parks, facilities, and services including the Dungeness National Wildlife...
Fort Worden is more than a historic military fort, but I must admit my ignorance – and being completely content with that ignorance – to what else it may have been in the early 1900’s when it was in use. For me, it was all about the bug guns (I’m...
