15. We find and Make a Pole Lamp
For some time we had searched through many piles of driftwood for a piece of driftwood suitable to make a pole lamp. We had no Luck for a few years. One year we camped at Fort Stevens State Park. We drove down to the beach. In those days you could drive on the beach. There on a beach as bare as Mother Hubbard's Cupboard we spotted the ideal piece. That piece sat there right on the sand all alone. We just drove up to it and tied it on. You can see it tied on the left side of the car.
A few years later we found just the right shells to complete the lamp at a shop at Fishersman Wharf in San Francisco.
