The Hood Canal is like a long bent arm in Puget Sound, with cottages along the roadside. One after another. The road is near the shoreline, so houses are without yards, packed tightly like rows of houseboats. If you've seen those, you know that every square inch of the property is used, and flowerboxes and planters add the color of a summer garden.
The old stone and log building is in a picnic area along the Hood Canal near Union. It was built a long time ago. You don't see that kind of craftsmanship anymore. I enjoyed looking up at the rafters inside, and the glass in the windows was that old, rippled kind, like it was hand-rolled.
