South Puget Sound cabin with beautiful views (#23648)

August 2008

This place is amazingly relaxing. I have gone down to the beach to wander. I have gone for a walk along the country roads and waved to the friendly people that live there. Sure you could rent a kayak and paddle around the sound. But me? I'd rather sit and stare at the volcano. I have seen seals, eagles, blue herons and a (contested) viewing of a pod of porpoises feeding on the sand bed in the channel. I've skipped rocks in the middle of moonless August night to see the phosphorescent ripples spread out in ghostly circles. I have cooked fresh oysters with butter and garlic on the outdoor grill, I have cooked pounds of fresh clams from the farm down the street. And eaten fresh produce from the farmers market we passed on the way. I climbed cliffs to find lost toys and gathered huckleberries and blackberries for pies and pancakes. I have watched the sunset from a tree house and had a pow-wow in a tee pee. I can think of no place I'd rather be and look forward to another
