Day 29 - Westport, WA - 3172 Miles

Went to the Elk Head Tap Room. We had to plan this since the Elk Head is only open Thur-Sun. In addition, despite the fact that all they do is sell their own beer and reluctantly a glass of wine, they only stay open until 7pm.

Elk Head Tap Room Happy Hour

This gives an indication of the nature of life in Ocean Shores. No one comes here because they need more thrills in their life. All bar/restaurants in town close at either 8 or 9 with one exception. The Porthole Pub stays open until 1:30am. (That's the place that knows to set me up a Pabst when I walk in the door.)

While at the Elk Head I looked through an old newspaper that had the Ocean Shores police calls for a Fri-Sun in May. Note that for three days there were 11 calls and three had to do with seal pups and one dealt with illegal clamming. The disorderly conduct took place at 11:30 in the morning and the noise complaint for loud music took place at 3:30 in the afternoon. Not much of a crime wave.

Saturday was a return visit to Westport for their annual Pirate Daze festival.
