well monday lat night we decided to drive down to ninilchick, a 3.5-4 hour drive, to hit a -5.5 tide on tuesday morning. this is one of the largest low-tides for the month of may and we thought it would be fun to go clamming. we arrived at the cabin at 2am and stayed up till 6am playing risk. the beach was perfect for clamming, there was a lot of people there for the clams. clamming is an art, and i was able to master this art within the firsts two or three digs of the day. the clam gun was the perfect way to dig for a clam. first you locate the clams by looking for small breathing holes, then you use the gun.
with the first layer of sand out of the way you dive into the sand with your hand and you can normally find the tongue of the clam. 
it is with skill and precision that you start the pulling process. you have to pull the clam out and when you do you get to finally see the size of the clam that you got. 
this was a way fun day. it was warm and sunny and it was a great time.
