Lopez Island

Bike camping on Lopez Island.

We met some people digging for clams on our walk around the spit.  There were two families, with a bunch of kids.  Their legal limit would have been somewhere around 70 pounds, but they weren't going for that much.  Apparently some species are good steamed, and some are best fried.  You can tell where the clams are by looking for their little breathing holes among the gravel. Plus, sometimes you can see them squirt water out of the hole.  Notice the piles of clams.
