Alice with one of her clams

We celebrated new years at the ocean with a bunch of our friends. It was clear but cold. Much colder than usual.

I think of the Washington Coast as over cast and rain.

Friday was Razor claming. This is a picture of Alice with one of her clams.

Friends at the Coolidge Municipal Airport.


Fly in at the Coolidge ariport

The Coolidge Municipal Airport was originally constructed in the early 1940’s by the U.S. Department of the Army. Originally constructed as an air transport command base, Coolidge Army Airfield served as an auxiliary operating base for Williams Field during World War II. The original airfield was constructed with three runways in a triangular configuration. Of these three runways, two remain: Runway 17-35 and Runway 5-23.
