Here I am digging a hole in the sand (everybody brings a shovel).
Viewed: 429 times.

It might be a dry hole or it might be too hot. Lots of trial and error and shifting around as people come and go.

The sand collapses in. I shoveled more wet sand in a day than I have for razor clams in my life. Soak a few minutes. Jump in the surf to cool off (and sand off). All of the holes are erased by the tide.
