Hey that's my dog, Jake on the dock at Port of Bay Center. Bay Center Channel. I walk him and he likes when we visit the docks, where he can go into the water and smell all the delightfully new smells that only a fishing dock can provide. photo - Lietta Ruger

hey there's my dog, Jake, again. Our walk down to the public beach, Willapa Bay. The cliff shows a fascinating geological study of erosion, shell life at some distant past when water covered the land - ie, a tsunami, and then water receded. photo - Ruger

satellite photo of Bay Center with Palix River on one side, mouth feeds into Willapa Bay and Willapa Bay surrounds the peninsula. The Bay Center Channel runs across the land mass, so the tip of Bay Center proper is actually an island.

hey, there is Jake again, on our walk into Bush Pioneer park. I take Jake for walks and he gets to see different scenery, the primitive forest at the park, the beach on Willapa Bay, the docks at Port of Bay Center, and the walk along Palix River on Bay Center Dike Road. photo - Lietta Ruger
this is not a fallen tree, it is still living and growing, but because it is leaning, makes an interesting sight. photo - Lietta Ruger
