Summer 2019
I’m from Montana, and Taylor and Hannah are from Colorado. So it was Joe’s summer to show off the appeal of Washington. He was a fantastic tour guide.
The rockies don’t have simple provisions like the PNW. Fish are less about eating and more about the experience of catching. Clams & mussels are invasive and never spoken of positively. And with a majority of months considered winter, fruit is from stores.
Washington is covered with things to eat. Every yard has an apple tree and every weed lining roads and sidewalks are covered with blackberries.
We ate more blackberries this summer than ever before.
We also got to collect seafood. Not catch or work hard for, but just collect.
