Monday August 18 it’s not
a bad weather day and we move on to see the old abandoned marina, in Greenway
Sound. We had dined there in its hay day. It is now in sad disrepair but yachts
still will come to celebrate being together here. At one time this was the destination
resort on the coast with fine dining, daily seaplane flights from all
destinations including Seattle. As time goes by an end to all good things must
inevitably take place.

| Greenway Twisted Docks |
A case in point is Pen and I take the little girl for walk on the
trail up towards the famous lake in Greenway sound (this site is cared by the
Federal Government Forestry Dept., which has a dingy dock). There is a huge old
steam donkey lost in time in the over grown forest. It boiler and stack lays
detached and the winch lays scavenged of parts. This was a once a huffing and
puffing monster that spewed black smoke stories into the sky. It belched forth
fireflies of sparks into the mist of the Northern sky that looked to split the
heavens open. It had the power to skid logs through forest that were 10 ft.
through the butt, thirty feet or longer. The machine was so strong that it
would take boulders, stumps and move them around like a boy child playing in a
sand box moving stuff about with his toy TONKA TRUCK.
Now this rusting hulk is a reminder to me that with all the will, strength, power and beauty our
creations in time will pass, and
we will be like this silent ineffectual rusted beast.
