Mary and I stayed there in February during one of the Razor Clam openings. There was a minus tide about 4:30 pm, sunset was about 5:30. It was 40 degrees and raining sideways with a 40 knot wind. Even with a minus tide the surf was running nearly up to the high tide mark. I stood my ground on more than one clam extraction and had water come over my nearly knee high boots.

My other Fuso project has a tilt bed so I'll be able to raise the camper to tilt the cab.336Views0likes0CommentsRe: What to plan for if you're thinking the Al-Can Hwy in a TC?
We drove up to Skagway in two days from Bellingham, a leisurely pace. There are a lot of critters on the road at dusk though.

Day after day of cloudless skies and temps near 80….312Views0likes0Comments
