Thank you. I have never seen a train park let alone go by, which both happened at the Steilacoom Ferry Dock that day.

Shovels I think he said.

I would think this would be the Keller Ferry as someone mentioned above. It’s in Ferry County. The two closest towns on hwy 21 are Keller and Republic.

Yeah you pack in all food and booze and everything you need for a week's stay.

Are you able to bring anything?

I like the use of the rail as a leading line. Nice pic.

Park up the road, on the road to black diamond, at the old cemetery for free.

Walk back down the road to the gate.

It's free to visit.

Sorry for the delay. You have to stay there for seven nights, because they have a strict volunteer schedule. You don't leave the spit for the entire time, and mostly volunteers hang out at the property. Biggest things include raising and lowering the flag and opening and closing the lighthouse, which includes a museum on the bottom floor. I was there in September so I also mowed and watered the lawn. There's so much down time that the retirees just chill and bake and cook and the young people like me were super productive reading and doing art. Super unique experience

yes!

Ahhhh yes, the parking lot / shuttle situation is definitely dookie.

Where’s this?

This is the only ferry service on the Columbia river that I’m aware of.

Also read the trip reports and planning info on wta.org. they have tips and fee information.

Yes! Check the tide charts and plan accordingly. Pro tip, bring ear plugs. When I went the wind was blowing pretty hard for the hours I hiked it and that plus the sound of the waves really started to fatigue/hurt my ears by the end (it was like being in a wind tunnel for 4 hours). It's a lot of fun though and a really unique hike. Get a snack/coffee at Sunny Farms on your way out. Have fun! :)

I did it when I was maybe 14? The hike was fun, if a bit difficult because of the sand. I was fine until I sat in the car for two hours right after the ten miles. Then I almost couldn’t stand up.

Sorry, I misread your earlier comment and thought you were arguing against building up.

See what?

Yes! Once, a long time ago on a family trip, we hiked all the way out to it. One of my favorite memories as a young man.

I want to do it

Thank you!

Op drive to the spokane worlds fair in 1974 from Seattle

I went over that bridge in December while on a trip there. During rush hour. Fun times.

I have, walking that far on sand is hell on the calves
