Learn how to find, dig, transport, clean, and prepare gaper, butter and steamer clams during one of the lowest tides in 2006. Learn gathering regulations and limits. Learn how Native Americans gathered these same clams.

What to Bring: A 2006 Oregon Shellfish Collecting License. See "All about Licenses" below. A collecting pail and mesh bag to hang on your belt, old wettable tennis shoes, very warm layered wool clothing (you will get wet), a towel, a change of cloths, a shovel, a backpack to carry all your stuff, water, a sac lunch, and plenty to snack on. Prepare for variable coastal weather!

Meeting Sites: At 5:50am, we'll car pool & caravan to Tillamook from the Arco AM/PM Gas Station on the intersection of the Beaverton-Hillsdale Hwy (Hwy 10) and SW 110th Ave, one block East of I - 217, adjacent to the new Home Depot. Be ready to leave by 5:50am. Your car should have a full tank of gas and you should have gone to the restroom (force yourself - it's the last one you will see for over an hour).
Or meet us in Tillamook at the dirt lot behind the Dairy Queen: Be there by 7:10am and wait patiently. The Dairy Queen is at 440 Main Ave N, Tillamook, OR 97141 (Same as Hwy 101). Just before that, go to the bathroom at the Shell Station or other nearby store (force yourself - it's the last one you will see for 3 hours). Wait behind the Dairy Queen patiently in case we get delayed, get to know the other participants, read a book, change into your beach cloths. We'll swing by soon to pick you up and proceed on to the workshop site. You must be there when we arrive or you will miss us. YOU MUST LET US KNOW where you will be meeting us (Beaverton or Tillamook) and a cel phone number if you have one (in case of an emergency)!
