Expensive Cuddle
Yesterday we decided to go for a walk on the beach, only to find Point Chev positively riddled with small and spectacularly loud juvenile humans on parole from school. Not really suiting our mood we hunted around for somewhere a little more secluded. However instead of the anticipated cozy viewing of the sun settling over the horizon we got the car stuck in the mud. Spent half an hour on our knees shovelling the disgusting sand, pitch black underneath with decaying organics, until we were literally gagging from the stench... and only succeeded in sinking the drivers side of the car down to its runner boards!
After calling 4 different tow companies we finally found someone who'd come out and 'see' if they could help us. In the end it took 2 tow trucks.... 1 to tow the car out and the 2nd to tow the 1st truck out... and cost us a pretty penny!!
The towies did say it was quite a common site though and we were lucky to get it out... they've witnessed several cars submerged, including a police car! Aweskimo!

I've done that.

On Washington's coast, always remember to turn towards the water into the hardpacked sand. This looks like something different, though.
