Vashon Island memories of a Monster Clam

Growing up on Vashon Island an island just west of Seattle I have such fond memoroies of going with my Dad and Mom, older brother and later on friends, to dig this wonderful monster clam at the Burton Beach. This book is a book that every Washington State citizen with pride should own and those of us who live out of state should own and share with our local libraries. The Washington state native americans named this clam and Goeduck means "dig deep" which is what you have to do to get this gem of a clam.I have a pic on my website that shows just how hard it is. In fact digging goeducks is akin to hunting the big buck or elk. Hard to do and you don't always get your clam as they dig down faster than some can dig.Great book!
