Another beautiful day in Seattle. We went to Kennydale Beach Park and enjoyed the rest of the day in the sun. It’s a nice small park nestled between houses on Lake Washington. It is a sandy beach, unlike the rocky beaches typical in the Pacific Northwest. The playground is small but great for the kids. The water is a bit cold still to swim. By summertime, the water is nice and warm.

 I’m still doing research on abandoned mining camps in Washington. I have located two from 1942 that look promising. The archive prints off the maps are so small I had to buy a times forty magnify lens. I feel like a real sleuth. Once I can confirm the location, I will need to figure out if I have to hike it in or hope fully to bike it in. Biking it in I can carry much more equipment. My goal is to see if I can find any remains of equipment or trash they left behind. I am not interested in finding valuable minerals or stones, just what was abandoned.

I am looking into finding a compact packable metal detector. Small enough to fit in my backpack.
