Last night there were colorful displays and loud booms until about 0230 when things calmed to to only an occasional pop. We have good internet here so today we got quite a bit of Endevour up on our TV.

The La Conner Marina RV Park, where we are currently camped, is a nice little park with full hookups and WiFi but we still have not found the laundromat although we have scoped out all the buildings within the confines of the park’s fencing. Our truck cannot be parked near our trailer within the park but, according to the campground host, we are able to park across the street in a La Conner Marina Permit Parking lot. We have no permit. I hope the campground host ain’t pulling my leg.

We made a small foray from the park, in search of locally-produced food. Our first stop was at Black Rock Seafoods, across the Swinomish Channel and beyond the Swinomish Nation Reservation lands. Peggy and I have been there during previous visits because we have always been able to purchase great fish and clams at this great store. It is located in some guy’s yard; you can park right in front of the sliding glass door to the retail portion of his house. Two pretty girls got us all squared away with cod, scallops and clams before we left.

Next we went on a search for handmade cheese and we found some about 15 miles away near Edison at a place called Golden Glen Creamery. They don’t call it a dairy because the cheese costs less at a dairy. Anyway, we found some curds, some sweet basil cheese, some Feta, a block of fresh butter and some river cheddar. It was after we paid that we noted they don’t post the prices where consumers can see them because they would be frightened away. We ended up with five small items and $35 less.

We took all our loot home and found that the Swinomish across the channel have not exhausted their fireworks supply and were still in the spiffy lighting and booming business. They quit before midnight so it was okay.
