Life's a Stitch

Last week’s post was absent while we camped on the Oregon and Washington Coast, passing through places whose names conjure up tough times on the foggy, rocky sea: Dismal Nitch, Cape Disappointment, Heartbreak Trail, Deception Pass and a ray of hope at Never Give Up Road.

Geocaching at the 1906 wreck of the four masted Peter Iredale (Fort Stevens) was soggy:

But the mushrooming was fruitful:

Thats a King Bolete, more commonly known as a variety of Porcini. This week, here in BC, someone found one that weighed over six pounds! It was the size of a basketball.

What a great day – geocaching and mushrooming. It’s all about the thrill of the hunt for me, C is not a fan. He hates when I bring home mushrooms that get thrown out for lack of positive identification. I told him he’d hate it worse if he got sick on an unidentified fungus.

Camp cooking included chicken and cheese pupusas on the camp stove:

 And campfire pizza:

At another geocache it was my turn in a frying pan – the world’s largest cast iron skillet.

The last time we were there, Bryant was ten weeks old. We’re not waiting another 28 years to return and plans are in place for next year’s visit.
