After 9 years of consecutive closures, clamming was opened for a short 4 day window, July 1-4, 2023. We wanted to give the kids the opportunity to try clamming and hoped for a few for Dean to enjoy. Bag & possession limits were low, 15 each. But we didn’t get that many, we came home with 3.

But we enjoyed some fresh Alaskan air, saw a little bit o’ sunshine and got some exercise. We also found a couple dozen hermit crabs, some sea snails, tiny shrimps and barnacles in the tide pools. Lots of cool creatures during these minus tides.

It was a good way to spend the first half of Independence Day! Now for some bovine flesh seared over an open fire, a cold adult beverage and poppits. (No fireworks allowed!)
