Day 65 - Ocean Shores, WA - 4253 Miles

An exciting weekend in Ocean Shores. During our morning walk on the beach I noticed an SUV belonging to Ocean Shores finest hooked to a Suburban from North Beach Towing in the "soft sand" section of the beach. I found it ironic the police had to rescue the towing vehicle. Then I saw it was the tow vehicle's wheels turning so it was the police SUV being rescued. That was ironic in it's own right. Surprisingly the tow vehicle was two-wheel drive so all it did was dig itself into a hole until they were both stuck

Next a random guy in a four-wheel drive pickup wandered by and pulled the tow vehicle out of the sand before it rescued the SUV.

 

Sometimes I amaze myself at how easily amused I am.

The big action, though, was the Sand and Surf biker rally. Ocean Shores has clearly solidified itself as, maybe not Sturgis, but definitely the Sturgis of Grays Harbor County, WA.

We ended the weekend with dinner at a supposed biker bar. Since I finished off the bars in Ocean Shores we have to travel farther to find a new beer place. We went to the Green Lantern Pub a few miles up the coast at Copalis Beach.  From the parking lot I could tell it definitely was a biker bar. Now I've always viewed bikers as a pretty bad-assed group of folks. At some point in time, though, a switch flips and they cross the line from bad-asses to old people in costume. The clientele at the Green Lantern is getting dangerously close to that line.
