Cool story bro. Keep taking selfies or random prom, engagement, baby pictures on the tracks for that perfect Reddit, Instagram, or FB post. The next picture might be your last.

Bring Motrin and good shoes … its not a bad walk out but the hike back is tedious and the tide started coming in so it was a bit more challenging. 36,000 step day.

It’s a wildlife refuge, of course not

If you ever want a tour of Franklin or the museum, I'd be glad to show you any time.

So when you say "I read Vancouver, not Victoria..." that isn't really true

All the time. I hate when I get asked "Which Washington?" There's only one.

Actually the train was not moving and the photo was taken while using the crosswalk (selfie stick). This was at the Ferry Terminal in Steilacoom. Thank you for your concern though.

Yea it’s a protected area. You park above in the lot and walk down. It’s a beautiful place. You can walk above the cliffs and see down and all the way to port angeles. I’ve spent a lot of time there I just never make it to the end for some reason 🤣

Yes! It’s a hell of a workout in the sand

Yes, about 15 years ago.

We did it in December. We were itching for a long hike, and had beautiful sunny weather. It was right after the king tide, so it was slow going on the way out. Coming back was much faster. Was surprised to find a recently shipwrecked sailboat there. Really fun day!

I did last fall. It was a longer walked than it seemed because you can see the end the whole way.

Getting hit by a train is in your future too. Don't fuck around on the train tracks because one day your parents will find out that trains win every time. No shot is worth the risk.

Several times.

It’s 5 miles there. A lot of sand (worse than walking through snow). And once there, 5 miles back. That said, start early, make it a day, and be prepared for a real workout.

I did it in 2011 and it was great, minus the sunburn, it can get a little boring after awhile. Make sure to get a picture at the intersection of Kitchen-Dick and Woodcock

So, not allowed to drive it then?

One of the most memorable and unique hikes I’ve done, 2021. Be sure to ask the keepers to see the inside and top of the lighthouse.

Yeah i moved from Auburn to Ellensburg 4 years ago for this reason. I find most of my favorite and most traveled to places to actually be on the east side of the mountains. Love it over here!

It’s OK. Some of us have been making dad jokes since we learned to talk!
