I worked every summer at a little restaurant called The Galley,for the grand sum of $1.00 an hour plus tips. It was just me and the cook,so on a really good day in the summertime I could take home $20.00. Took orders,cleaned tables,did ALL the dishes too. Oh the good old days!<br />I have walked from one end of this little city to the other so many times,and soent hundreds if hours on the beach,climbing Battle Rock,I'll bet my initials are still carved in a stump up on the top. It was not unusual for a girlfriend and myself to walk to the cannery where they would give us the bottom of a coffee can filled with fresh shook crab for the grand sum of $1.00 to take on our beachcombing walk. This coming summer I plan to come down from Seattle and spend a night or two! Can't wait!<br />R.(McDaniel)Porter<br />Rosalie Porternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126820724492651318.post-12163972152469805062016-11-18T20:58:53.810-08:002016-11-18T20:58:53.810-08:00I stopped here on a trip down the coast.

Did you visit the coop market; it sounds wonderful? I guess I need to make a a road trip eventually in terms of my values. This offered a nice virtual perspective.

In absolute appreciation of your observations, perceptions, insights...and writing. I stopped in this tiny city - for all of about ten minutes - per a whirlwind trip down the coast, to Humboldt County, etc. in the summer of 2010. Have yet to cease to remember it - to be captivated by it. Thank you, thank you:) JALMJALMnoreply@blogger.com
