The new blog.

It's been a slow start up, but it's finally happened.

Mountain Girl Diaries, also here on blog, where I struggle and wrestle with the dilemmas of cook/no cook(actually just figuring out for the first time that i just CAN'T cook), learning to adjust, finding my feet in another new life, going back to school...?...kicking many things into gear.

Again.

Point No Point beach and lighthouse

From the northern tip of the Kitsap Peninsula, a low sandspit extends east for over a quarter of a mile into the waters near the junction of Admiralty Inlet and Puget Sound. In 1841, Charles Wilkes of the U.S. Exploring Expedition approached the spit thinking it was a substantial point. On finding that it was much smaller than he had expected, Wilkes designated the spit Point No Point. Previously, Indians had given the point a more descriptive name - Hahd-skus, meaning long nose. The Point No Point Treaty was signed on the spit in 1855 by Territorial Gov. Isaac Stevens and leaders of Chimacum, Skokomish and S'Klallam tribes, ending the Indian wars.
