We're here at Camano for a few days to check in on the progress of the house. Cama Beach just reopened in 2008 as a State Park and has been incredibly popular since then. Built in the mid 30s as a fishing resort, it remained in the original family until closing in 1989. With the support of the owner's family, local groups and the state, the cabins were renovated and opened to the public.
It's rustic, yet comfortable; there's lots to see and do. The Center for Wooden Boats has a boathouse here and offers boats to rent as well as classes and other events. There is a huge volunteer presence, and we met some very nice future neighbors volunteering in the little store/museum. Today they're pouring a new cement boat ramp, so there is a lot of activity.
While poking around in the Center, I came upon a wooden version of my ideal boat. (She's named Flo, which Laurie will get a chuckle out of!) Why "ideal"? You can sail, or row, or motor ! What could be finer?
There are some really beautiful trails up into the woods. Last night Jeff and I hiked down to the State Park and were delighted to see these two:
This is a magical place, even on a cool, showery June day!
You are so *damn* good lookin'!!
