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 Refuge<\/a>. Being the rebel that I am, I chose to ignore the shutdown and trespass into the park<\/a> to hike out to the lighthouse at the end of the spit. Long story short, I got about a hundred yards. This time around I got to enter the park legally.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Kerri and I were originally going to kayak out to the lighthouse, but after reading some news of a couple being killed doing exactly that, we decided against it. We decided that a hike out just was not in our future either, as it is more than 10 miles round trip – on sand – no thanks. Instead we took a leisure stroll along an established trail, making it to the spit in no time at all. There we relaxed, shared a banana, and snapped a few photos.<\/p>\n
