spacer <<< we ambled on about another quarter mile, then down a precipitous path to a secret beach, where i almost took a tumble of my own stepping on slick exposed roots at water's edge but i flung my arms out and braced between two tree trunks, narrowly avoiding a faceplant. sarah's second time here, my first, we both agreed it made a nice local destination, a pocket of serenity. climbing out was easier, surer footing going up as usual, then we started back for home. on the way, we spoke with a man walking his dog, a former crane operator who'd had a hand in building some of the houses in the area. "the hardest thing about it is getting the truck down to the site." he lives in Poulsbo, not too far away, but was here for the weekend, staying in a waterfront air bnb. somehow it didn't seem appropriate to mention the wreck. >>>
