Volksmarch - Shelton
Aug. 5th, 2010 08:26 pm--[I took this walk on Sunday, August 1]--
Shelton looks a bit run down. It might be because I was there on Sunday and they roll up the streets on Sunday, or it might be because the lumber industry is suffering. It still has a lumber mill, and a lot of other things going for it, but there are a lot of antique looking buildings that are simply bars and the like.
Still... It has an Americana feel. Even if the streets were empty, the parks were full of happy people.
I'd give the Shelton walk a 5 on my 1 to 10 scale [Cannon Beach being a 1]. It may be a bit run down, and part of the walk went by a mobile park full of mobile homes that will never move again, but it had a lot of shiny surprises.
