Road work is changing the face of Potlatch State Park on Hood Canal as the Skokomish Tribe puts in a housing development on the ridge above and beside the park. Should be in fine shape by the summer tourism season. By the way, there is a good, clean and very affordable laundromat at Potlatch, something good to know if you have been camping in the wild and are not ready to come back to civilization yet.
Spring is coming and the month of May explodes with color in Mason County. The leaves explode green and the skunk cabbage poke their yellow heads above the soil along the Skokomish River. You’ll see thousands of these flowery wonders from the the Purdy Canyon Cutoff Road, which is the shortcut between Highway 101 and Route 106. A great day trip for nature lovers. I think their smell is not so bad and rather mild, what do you think? Perhaps their reputation is not deserved.
The month is February and the oyster season is in its prime. When the tide goes out, the table is set. The oysters are fine and firm! Pick your fill at any public access on Hood Canal and South Puget Sound – try Twanoh State Park for starters. Top off your meal with a bottle of Hoodsport Syrah!
