Our family recently camped and surfed at La Push, a Quileute owned and operated resort on the Washington coast. This place was little known before the Twilight tourist trade, but it has always been a great destination. It's charm comes from the wild and rugged beaches where intrepid surfers go year round (imagine) and anyone can camp on the beach for free.Here is a Haiku dedicated to Jake, who tried to teach me to surf before I wimped out after 5 minutes because I was barefoot. It's a list poem of 7 essential things.. True, I've left out marshmallows and chocolate but I didn't have enough syllables for true Haiku (5-7-5):
Red tent, solitude,
beach, sand, surfboard, neoprene
and wood for the fire.
