A day at the beach on the coast is a long day. It is a 3 hour drive to the ocean from our home in Maple Valley. My spouse graduated from Montesano high school and has family all around Grays Harbor. Or as we like to call it, The Harbor. Adventures to the ocean always include a couple of stops. The 6 hour round trip drive is a long time to go without some sort of grub. There are several stops along the way where tasty delights can be enjoyed. Two of them are in Montesano, The Crows Nest and Genes Stop n Go. One is in Elma, Smittys In & Out. Elma also has a Burger King that is a better stop than the one in Aberdeen. I like to support the Mom N Pop small buisnesses when I can.
