MAKAW INDIAN TRIBE ....
Located at the most NORTH WEST POINT OF LAND of the "Lower" 48 States in the State of WASHINGTON ... on the SOUTHERN Shore of The Straits of JUAN de FUCA ...
...Looking NORTH is the SOUTH WEST Shore of CANADAs VANCOUVER ISLAND
...VANCOUVER ISLAND - sometimes known as The GRAVEYARD OF SHIPS.
Asked ..."How old is the MAKAW TRIBE", I received no reply.
Asked ..."Do Tribal Members tell ancient stories around the CAMPFIRE", Yes, WE DO.
Please say HELLO to IRENE. IRENE met me as I walked into the MAKAW Senior Center;

Having driven Highway 112 from NEAH BAY to PORT ANGELES, we parked overnight at WAL-MART;
Breakfast was enjoyed at MAC D's where we created this Blog Update.
In a few minutes, we will drive to HURRICANE Ridge located some 15 miles South of Town (Port Angeles). One of America's outstanding Outlooks, HURRICANE RIDGE dominates the mountain top NORTH BOUNDRY of the massive "BOWL" that makes up America's YOUNGEST Mountain Range.
"...THE OLYMPIC MOUNTAINS ..."
Complete with 10 living ICE GLACIERS, the OLYMPIC MOUNTAINS offer a magnificent partner filling the WASHINGTON STATE Western Distance to the PACIFIC OCEAN some 100 miles distant - as the CROW flies.
SUNSETS from SEATTLE - especially while dining in the incomparable SPACE NEEDLE ... as well as views from Oregon to the South and from CANADA to the North, OLYMPIC MOUNTAINS take up Center Stage.
Port Angeles is blessed today with a COLD but crystal clear Sky - so common in these parts, we should be presented with a special HURRICANE RIDGE Spectacular...
...which we shall share on tomorrow's Blog Update.
