As I noted yesterday, I’ve had to opportunity to go looking for places where I could use verticals over salt water here in Seattle-land for contesting.
As promised, I have a few pictures to show the areas in question. The first area is a county park that meets my criteria for operating.
The issue here is the hours of operation — and where to stay, if in an RV, during the night.
This picture shows the rules:

But, this picture shows how close the parking spot is to the beach — a flat beach.

Yes, logs on the beach in Washington State is the norm…It’s a conundrum. How to get permission to stay overnight? With no electricity hookups?
