There’s nothing quite like the mix of summer weather, interesting beaches and kids with plenty of imagination and time on their hands. Driftwood forts are a common sight on Lopez Island and each beach we visited had at least one great structure ready and waiting for the next group to meet up and play until bedtime…

That structure sure inspires imagination 😀
I really wanted to crawl in and explore. 🙂
You should! then you can share what you see 😀
I’m not tall but still too big to fit in the tiny opening. ;( Better luck next time I guess!
mmm maybe someone will build one for you to enjoy being inside 🙂
Sounds like a better plan! I’ll get Ryan right on it. 🙂
Cheers! 😀
I was sure you woulda crawled in!
Not this one, but we found bigger ones later that I couldn’t resist. 🙂
I knew I could count on you!
🙂
So … do you mean a bonfire ? That would be wonderful !! 😀
A bonfire would have been a lot of fun, M-R! This little structure was a kids play fort though but it looks like the tiny door is not showing in the frame. 🙂
PNW driftwood. Love it! 🙂
Thanks, Eric! We have a million uses for driftwood around here. 🙂
When we were on the Oregon coast I leafed through a book of driftwood forts.m very cool!
Sounds like a great book!
My grandkids spend whole days building driftwood shack son the beach when they come to visit. Wonderful creations.
Such a NW thing to do. Your grandkids must have the best time on the beach.
That couldn’t have been easy.
You’re right, it looks like an all day project…
I’ve seen these on the Pacific Rim on Vancouver Island, one question, does anyone ever get injured building these? They look as though they could quite easily collapse. Saying that, if I was a kid I’d love to mess around with all that driftwood.
I’m sure there are injuries, Jude as the logs roll around a lot but usually they are a little lighter than green wood so we don’t hear about many problems. Walking on slippery logs is a whole different story, lots of injuries there…
I immediately thought of everyone meeting ’round the bonfire.
A great summertime activity, Bebs. 🙂
