We took a pleasant drive up to the north end of Long Beach to see lots of new housing going in. The locals aren't happy about all the developement. Something like 350 new houses all ready to move into. The prices were still pretty high for hoses not on the beach and what you would call a basic bungalow.Also there were timeshares and townhouses-and apartments to purchase...all could be managed andd rented out when you weren't there. There was even a golf course or two!
We turned east and drove the five miles across the penninsula to Oysterville, where we loaded up on fresh oysters to take back for our dinner. Just dipped them in egg and rolled them in cracker crumbs, then fried them up to perfection in a couple of minutes. Oyster farming and Cranberry farming are two of the mainstays, besides fishing and tourism.All we could see was mountains of oyster shells. Don't ask if they reused them all, but it was clear that some were reused to "Seed" the oyster beds.
