Do a clam dig

“I didn’t catch a clam myself on that first dig (pro tip: plan on only one parent clamming at a time), but being outside at night, on the beach with all the negative ions floating around, the thrill of the hunt and the sound of the waves (real waves, not sound machine ones) was enough for me to want to make clam digging a new Menaul tradition.”

“Our second trip was in February, and low tide was in the afternoon this time. While the night dig was fun, the afternoon dig was even better. I wasn’t worried about losing Levi, so I was much more relaxed, and was even able to catch a clam myself. Because he could see, Levi was more interested in the actual clamming, following Travis around from hole to hole, before getting distracted by a puddle. It was cold and rainy, and it even snowed on us for a bit, but it eventually cleared up and we caught our maximum 30 clams, which are now in my freezer, waiting to become chowder.”
