Crews from American Construction of Tacoma were busy today installing the floats for the new docks at the Point Defiance boat ramp. The work to expand the ramp to eight lanes should be done by the end of the month. The $2.2 million project has been four years in the making.
The last big piece to be brought in is an 80-foot breakwater that will protect the facility. That is due to be completed and installed in the next few weeks.
TNT photographr Liu Kit Wong was on hand this morning and will have a photo in tomorrow's South Sound section.
In tomorrow's Adventure section, we have a number of items touting volunteer opportinities for Earth Day. Local and state parks, as well as area organizations, are planning events.
Our lead story is about a six-day trip spent sea kayaking the Southern California coast. The package comes from a sister McClatchy newspaper and has some great photos.
Brian Milne snaps a photo of a humpback whale in the waters off of Pismo Beach along the coast of Southern California.
The folks at the Mount St. Helens Institute have released their list of summer programs, including a number of guided climbs to the rim. We've got the dates and the basic information.
For hikers, the Hike of the Week is a two-for-one deal -- consider it an early Earth Day present. This week's offerings are the Twin Firs Loop and the Trail of the Shadows at Mount Rainier National Park. Both are simple treks that are great for young kids. Right now, however, you'll need snow shoes for Trail of the Shadows.
