Went on a beach hunt yesterday and found my worst find so far...
A buddy and I went to Useless Bay on Whidbey Island, and it is perfectly named! Hunted for a couple hours, only found a few nails and a couple of pulltabs. Decided to hit another beach nearby, so headed back to the car. Hunting through the driftwood on the way back and sat down to take a break. Sitting there, I saw a small black bag (smaller than a fist) that had washed up behind a log. Something was printed on it, but I couldn't read it 'cuz it was tied in a knot at the top."Hey, look what I found," I says. My buddy starts getting excited, "Open it! Open it!" We're trying to guess what it might be. I shake off the sand, tear it open and discover.... It's got another black bag tied in a knot inside. Now we're getting excited! It must be something good since they double-bagged it?!! So we make a few more guesses and tear it open......
It was a bag of dog poo
Turns out, part of the beach is an off-leash dog park. We had commented on how everbody else had dogs with them, how we were the only ones without a dog. And walking back to the car we noticed two more neatly tied bags sitting on logs, waiting for the owners to pick up on the way back. Evidently, the park supplies the bags, with a picture of a dog on them "Take it with you" or something like that, but we couldn't read it because it was tied in a knot.
Well, it was a glorious, sunny day. We went to the next beach and didn't find anything good with the MD, but we did find lots of cool rocks, had a nice picnic, and turned out to be a really nice day. We had a good laugh about the poo, and I'm sure it'll be one of those 'lasting memories'.
Care to share your 'worst finds'?? (I already read the one about the needle, yuck. and scary.)
