Day 324: "We now return you to our regularly scheduled program..." and a five-panel panorama of the spectacular Nisqually delta. I have been here many times when the tide was fully out and the Refuge landscape was nothing but grey tones and mud, but on this occasion, its beauty was revealed.
The boardwalk which takes you nearly two miles out to the gazebo from where this photo was taken is a marvelous piece of engineering. It stands high above the tide flat with its feet anchored somewhere deep in the mud. You never feel that you're walking on a rickety old dock here. It is as solid as a rock and built to last many decades despite the shifting tides below. Just remember to make a stop before you leave on your walk. There are no "facilities" along the route!
