Biggest crab so far, but I'm sure they get bigger. Spotted this one while on my way back from the abandoned ship; it wasn't really moving much neither was the one behind it, only when i would try picking them up would they put up a resistance. Joe Doe 2010 ⎝⏠⏝⏠⎠ posted a photo:
The yacht like little John A., in wartime use as an Army barge, ended her service so badly abused that she was disposed of by the government as a hulk and was not used thereafter, but after a period of idleness was taken to the mouth of the upper Nisqually River on upper Puget Sound with the former four-master William. Nottingham and beached on the mudflats, where they gradually disintegrated and were finally completely destroyed by fire. Gordon Newell, Maritime Events of 1945, H. W.

I wasnt really trying to mess with this one to much, i had it in my head that it would have no trouble cutting a finger off. Joe Doe 2010 ⎝⏠⏝⏠⎠ posted a photo:
If you follow the tree trail along the beach you'll see the little nub that is Ketron Island. Joe Doe 2010 ⎝⏠⏝⏠⎠ posted a photo:
After seeing all the beach around the trail i got to remember to pick out the little things instead of just getting pictures of the whole thing. In this pic i spotted some shells washed up from the tide laying on this barnacle covered bolder. Joe Doe 2010 ⎝⏠⏝⏠⎠ posted a photo:
Had to try the silky smooth water effect, for future reference its better if theres a more complex ripples or rapids. Joe Doe 2010 ⎝⏠⏝⏠⎠ posted a photo:
This was after crossing some large boulders. She gets a kick out of jumping up some boulders and then watching me struggle up and over, sometimes 4 legs are better than 2. GD Taber posted a photo:

My friend Don and I walked the trail along Sequalitchew Creek from Dupont down to the beach. This tunnel was just as we got to the beach, and was colorfully embellished with graffiti. If you look closely, you can see the tiny beginnings of stalactites hanging from the roof. greenwoman46 posted a photo:
The trail from Dupont down to the beach along Sequalitchew Creek is about a mile long, through a beautiful mixed forest. greenwoman46 posted a photo:
I have lived within 15 miles of this beautiful beach most of my life, and this was my first visit. Won't be my last! Joe Doe 2010 ⎝⏠⏝⏠⎠ posted a photo:
Enjoy in peaceful tranquility while you can, it wont be long till those stormy waves and high tide returns. Joe Doe 2010 ⎝⏠⏝⏠⎠ posted a photo:
Everytime i get to go down to the puget i try to find a large complete snail shell. most of the time i come across either the smaller complete ones of the larger broken ones. Joe Doe 2010 ⎝⏠⏝⏠⎠ posted a photo:
I had to get a pic of both me and lexus before heading back out again. it was good timing on catching a train going by cause lexus had a fixed attention to it turning this into a good pose for her. Joe Doe 2010 ⎝⏠⏝⏠⎠ posted a photo:
Here's our first walk to the broken ship of dupont beach. I've seen this ship for the first time about a month ago, but due to weather constraints i wasnt able to get out and look around the beach for a trail till later. Even when the weather did clear up i had to wait longer because i had to climb across loose boulders to reach leveled beach again which meant having to wait till there was both a low tide and decent weather so safely get across. Well today was that day for me, i got across all those little obstacles and made it to this ship. This place has been the object of my curiosity ever since i saw it on google maps after my first visit to this beach and i was excited to actually get out here to see it in person.

This site is where a old train bridge use to stand. Now days all you see when visiting the place is the track stubs of what use to be. |
