Tent Site 25 Dashpoint State Park, Washington

For a couple of years we would camp at Dashpoint State Park just south of Seattle on our holidays. The first year, while eating pizzas at the local Godfather's, Princess Diana died. The next year, same Godfather's, John Kennedy died. We decided not to go there anymore. We didn't want to be responsible for any more famous person's death.

One of our favorite camping spots. It's designated for a camper-van, and we only have a tent. What the heck! The site is wonderful!
