TAKING A BITE OUT OF CRIME~Alligator Alcatraz, FL

'Alligator Alcatraz': ICE detention center set to open in Florida: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sP4c41D4mv4)

This is a brilliant idea.

The obama era bred nothing buy lawless & illegal activities, foisted on American & Americans by the demonrat party's infiltration of rabid Anti-Americans wishing for the destruction of America, and shouting for the death of Americans - and the importation of violent criminals that global 3rd world countries wanted to unload from their country.

barak hussein obama and his muslim rebels sought to destroy America, shame Americans and make Christianity a federal crime.

Some of the things President Donald Trump says and does, does on occasion make me raise my eyebrows - BUT THIS … this is brilliant.

SUNDAY DRIVE EXPLORATION~Black Lake, Ilwaco-WA

Last night Holland suggested a Sunday drive … and this morning, David called to say he was in Naselle-WA & on his way to his beach place, in Long Beach-WA.

So - we enjoyed a nice Sunday drive, did a little exploration, and spent time with a friend before coming back home to Ocean Park-WA.

First off, we had wanted to spend some time watching waves in Seaview; but the ocean wind was blowing briskly across the beach, kicking dusty sandy grit into the atmosphere … and causing creepy appearances on the beach that looked like ghostly fingers inching forward. It was weirdly unsettling as I watched the shifting sand out the passenger window: I was glad when Holland turned around & got us out of there.

Oddities & Curiosities … between Long Beach & Seaview-WA

Big gusts of sand was airborne this afternoon, as we pulled up at the Seaview Beach Access-WA
There was so much airborne sand, that Beard's Hallow was barely visible.

Then, we drove into Ilwaco, and made a loop around the marina:

The gritty, kicked up sand along the oceanfront reminded me of the dust storms in AZ; Ilwaco-WA
WOW~seagulls & geese; Ilwaco Marina-WA
The geese really like this Ilwaco area ;-)
We are thinking that bridge & buildings in the distance, belong to the Coast Guard; Ilwaco-WA
That's the North Head Jetty - stretching out into the Pacific Ocean; Ilwaco-WA

On the way back to Ocean Park, I pointed out what looked like a small fishing Park across the Black Lake water; and asked Holland if we could try to find a way to get there. We tried 2 side roads, but they dead-ended … so, when I saw a guy dinking around with his car, I said, "Let's pull over there, and I'll ask if he knows what that place is … and how we could get there." So, that's what we did.

He did know - and we followed his directions down Sandridge Road, to get there.

This is the road we need to get where I want to go …
Black Lake; Ilwaco-WA
The Lake's edge lapped right up to the gravel road edge …
Curiosity satiated.
Well … I got here, & now I 'know'. LOL
Hmm - a walking Trail - and … of course we drove in & parked; but Betsy was purring the whole time, and we didn't stay long.
Kayak Rentals - there were several kayaker's on the Lake.
It was a very peaceful, pretty, Sunday country drive.
Directions to the back-end Hiking Trail of Black Lake.

After that little exploration, we drove to David's place; we enjoyed a lengthy chatty visit … and came home with canned fish & canned clams 😊: these we tucked away for our upcoming Road Gypsy forays.

And I made up a couple bacon & cheese Breakfast Burrito's to put in the freezer for satisfying and healthy quick grabs 👌

YUMMY!
