Sunday morning

Aug. 14, 2016, looking east from the Community Center.

I don't believe it is an exaggeration to say it is possible on a very early Sunday morning to lie down in the middle of Simpson Avenue and take a little nap without being disturbed by vehicles.

Over 50 years ago this was the old 410, the main highway between Olympia and the Coast.
