McCleary, Washington Does Not Exist!

According to this map in the 2010 Traveler's Companion : the Definitive Guide to Southwest Washington and Northwest Oregon, my town does not exist!

I have circled where McCleary is supposed to be. Apparently our town exists in another dimension. Actually that might explain a few things. On the highest point in the road between Oly and the beach, I've always said we are in that narrow Twilight Zone where the Aberdeen and Olympia spheres of influence don't quite touch.

Actually there are quite a few other towns missing, including Oakville, Satsop, Brady, Cosmopolis, Bezango, Cathlamet, Tokeland, Humptulips, Bucoda, Rainier, and many more.

It has been raining today out here in Grays Harbor County. When the weather gets like this, the trees take advantage of humans being inside and start gathering to reclaim the land and exact revenge on the loggers.

This photo was taken just a few hours ago at Brady, Washington (trivia: One member of the local Brady family here went down with the Titanic), not too far away from Morty the Dog HQ in McCleary.

Notice how the older and bigger tree is instructing the baby firs to form a line and advance. It was barking out orders! Soon they will attack with military skill, an army of evergreens, and the human citizens will scream, "Oh no, the infant tree!"

Ah, glad I got that one out the way.
