This hunt has given us much more walking experiences around town, and a renewed appreciation for everything about it.
Quintessential of Port Townsend, and a place often pictured in promotional material, is the old hotel on the Main Street which here is named Water Street.
I always like brick walls that have remnants of advertising.
Even without advertising, brick walls hold interest.
As do old doorsways.
Moving along from storefront to storefront on the hunt for woodland critters, it began to rain a little, then more like medium rather than a little. We got a little wet but not cold yet as we continued on. The route took us up the steps to “downtown”. I have always thought of downtown being where most shops are and where busyness is, but this was way up from that here in PT. And, funnily I thought, we went UP to get to DOWN town.
At the top of the stairs we first came upon the wooden Bell Tower. The last one remaining in the United States.
Another beautiful old building is up there in downtown.
Though we filled every square on our finding card, neither of us is certain that we got each correct critter. Some were challenging to find, some windows had many different critters, and one seemed to have none. But we managed to find something that we thought worked, completed our card and ambled over to the drop box.
First getting our mini candy cane from Santa...
...then depositing our answers ...
...then heading back to camp.
So ends our adventure for this time. We will leave for home early as there is a morning Seahawks game we don’t want to miss. Though the weather has not been ideal, the wind rocking the RV both evenings, the rain both days, and a little cold outside, we are happy to have had this time away. All the adverse things just seem to have added to the adventure and have made for a memorable time.
