The Cama Beach Foundation Dessert Social & Annual Meeting is Thur Sept 10th at 6PM. 

The very special guest speaker will be Jacinto Caamaño! He's the reason the parks aren't on MacDonough Island. Caamaño died in about 1825 but Ranger Tom Riggs will bring him back to life for the evening. A not to be missed performance! Exciting, entertaining, educational.

If you can join us, please RSVP to jec@wavecable.com

The Herald (of Everett) did a really nice article on our little store :)

Do you enjoy puzzles and solving mysteries?

Play “Mystery Class”. Use sunrise and sunset times to find 10 mystery classrooms located all around the world. Each Thursday new clues are shared. The first clues came out last week and today the second of 11 sets of clues were shared.

Here’s an example from Mystery Class #4 “No sunset here, it's all daylight all the time ... at least for now.”

Starlight Beach Walk
Cama Beach State Park
Fri Jan 2 at 8:00 pm

After you park, walk down the road (past Cama Center) to the southern end of the beach. Park volunteers will be on hand to help you identify intertidal animals. The tide will be a -1.1 at 9:02 pm so you may see chitons, sea anemones, nudibranchs, crabs, seastars, moon snails, barnacles, and more. See what impact the Seastar Wasting Syndrome virus has had on our intertidal seastar populations.

Dress warmly, wear waterproof boots or sturdy shoes (walking on beach cobbles and rocks can be difficult). Bring one bright flashlight per person (also bring extra fresh batteries). These walks are very informal. You can head home at any time.

The weather forecast looks OK, but the walk may be cancelled if the weather turns foul. To check status, call 360.387.0846 after 5:00 pm on Jan 2.

Just released, the mini-documentary "Losing Paradise: Climate Change is Changing Mount Rainier".

The Geminids will peak between December 13 and 14 in 2014. Northern Hemisphere observers should try their luck right after dark. Even though a 3rd quarter Moon may make it too bright for city observers to view the shower, at Cama, with the predicted clear skies, we should see lots of shooting stars.

If you can’t see the Geminids in your area, join NASA’s live stream.

Join CBF to view the 
Partial Solar Eclipse
Cama Beach State Park
Thurs Oct 23, 1:30 pm - 3:30 pm 

Cama Beach Foundation just purchased a Dobsonian telescope (with solar filter!) so weather permitting, we can watch as the Moon moves in front of the Sun. The eclipse starts at 1:35 PM. The maximum eclipse occurs at 3:00 PM. The eclipse will be over at 4:20 PM.

WARNING: DO NOT look at the sun directly even during a partial eclipse. Eye damage can result. In addition to the telescope with solar filter, we will have some special solar glasses on hand.
