It’s funny how stuff works We get a call from
Becky that a lot of folks on the Long Beach Peninsula
support the Edge, and want to help it get back on it's
feet. Thanks, we say. Then we get a newsletter from
our dear friends at Sherwood Forest on the Long
Beach Peninsula. Sherwood used to be a summer
camp in the early seventies, and your beloved rev was
a counselor there one summer (yes, he did look
dashing with his whistle, and bandanna) and caretaker
for most of a winter Well, it seems Susie Griener-
Andrews and her husband Gordy are living there, and
trying to keep up the taxes, etc. Now, don’t tell
anyone, but Edge readers, they are willing to rent it
out as a primitive camp site. They had a pretty good
time with a Dulcimer group of about fifty, Bear in
mind, these are gentle good people who love and
respect this land, so no weird stuff But if you have
need of a place for a week-end or so of peace on the
Willapa Bay, give Susie a call at (360)665-4733 or
better yet write her at Box 89, Nahcotta, WA 98638.
When you travel east of the Mississippi, you
quickly realize that answering “Washington”
confuses things, and maybe even raises a barrier, when
you’re asked “Where you from?’’
East of the Mississippi, most people think
Washington, D C., when you say "Washington,- and
don't wait to hear if “D C.” is part of it.
The barrier goes up, perhaps only in my
imagination, but it’s apparent that a lot of people
don’t like Washington (DC that is). In the South,
Washington represents the federal government, that
old foe in the War between the States In rural areas,
just about anywhere, Washington represents urban,
moneyed, corporate, megalomaniacs out to over
regulate the rest of us. For some folks, Washington
represents the liberal (if not worse) central government
that imposes oppressive, irreligious, and anti-family
programs.
So in an effort to assure a chance of hearing what
people really thought, we shifted our response to “the
state of Washington.” This typically brought out
“ooh, way out there- God’s country.” Usually
people had only the vaguest notion of what “God’s
country" consists o f
“It’s real cold up there, isn’t it?”
“You have a lot of trees, don’t you?"
“That’s near California, isn't it?”
The next layer was "What town?” and we’d
answer Ilwaco, expecting no one to know where that
was (Occasionally someone did-usually a sport
fisherman or a bicyclist w ho had done Highw ay 101
from border to border.)
“That near Seattle?”
“No, it’s at the mouth of the Columbia.” The
fact that one of the world’s major rivers is unknow n
for all practical purposes to so many Americans is
pretty amazing. Most seemed to have never heard of
it.
Then, “Oh, that must be up by Hood River?”
(This happens even in the Pacific Northwest-people
can’t keep their headwaters and river mouths straight.)
Then the minor geography lesson:
"The headwaters of the Columbia are in Canada.
The Columbia system drains an area the size ol
France. The river is about four miles across at the
mouth Ilwaco is the last fishing port before the river
dumps into the ocean.”
After a while, we just said, "We live in Ilwaco,
Washington, the lower left corner of the state. Oui
house is two blocks from the Columbia River and
about half a mile from the Pacific as the crow flies ”
