The inside story on outside recreation for South Puget Sound and beyond

The sport clam and oyster fishing seasons at Frye Cove County Park are closed until further notice, the state Department of Fish and Wildlife just announced.

The park is located in Thurston County on Eld Inlet.

The news release from the state said Thurston County Parks and Recreation Department has closed the park and associated tidelands to all public access, forcing the closure of clam and oyster digging.

Dan Mazur will lead five free mountaineering presentations this month in Pierce County. Here's the announcement he's circulating:

Come on out in February for 5 FREE Himalaya mountain film and slide shows in Pierce County, in and around Tacoma. The speaker is yours truly, Dan Mazur.

I am known for leading Greg Mortenson's "Three Cups of Tea" expedition to K2 and the rescue of Lincoln Hall from just below the summit of Everest, where our small team gave up its summit atttempt to rescue the fallen climber and the story was featured on NBC television 'Today' and 'Dateline' show with Matt Lauer and in a 5 page Sunday magazine article in the Seattle Times.

The exciting slide-DVD shows feature Dan telling lively and fascinating stories about climbing Mount Everest and helping poor families living in the foothills of Everest get better education, healthcare, and environmental protection, and are very suitable and entertaining for families, kids, adults, women, men, and every kind of person of all ages. During and after the talk we will engage in lots of questions and discussions with the audience. Our audiences for the January talks had loads of interesting questions and insights and a fine time was had by all!

Here are the dates. Details below.
February 8, Monday, Orting, 7 pm
February 10, Tuesday, Summit, 7 pm
February 11, Wednesday, Buckley, 6:30 pm
February, 12, Thursday, Longbranch, 7 pm
