Mud, blues and track - Niawaikum River, Ilwaco and Naselle, Wa.

Adventurous types played in the mud this afternoon during tours with Brian Atwater of the US Geological Survey — co-author of “The Orphan Tsunami of 1700” — who showed signs of past tsunami's in the local area, by way of the color of mud. Pretty cool. Above we have State Rep. Brian Blake helping Jackie Sheldon back up the ankle deep muddy mud bank.

Then to the River City Playhouse for a benefit blues show.

Thursday was yet another wet track meet — I'm three for three on these so far this year.
