Trip improved after we left
Potholes State Park的点评
点评：We stayed for two nights at Pothole Camp, and from the very first morning (Saturday), the entire trip was just horrible.
First issue: Someone thought it was a genius idea to hang a wasp/hornet trap right in the middle of two campsites — ours and our neighbors’. Saturday morning, we woke up to wasps swarming all over our tents. At first, we couldn’t figure out why until we spotted the trap in a tree, literally buzzing with activity. My husband went to the ranger station to report it, but no one was there. About an hour later, a ranger finally showed up and moved the trap — by that point, our kids hadn’t even been able to leave their tents.
Once that was dealt with, I started cleaning up all the trash left behind by the previous campers at our site. Later that evening, while we were having dinner, our older daughter was stung by a bee.
Speaking of trash — let’s talk about the lakes. We visited multiple spots around the lakes, and honestly, it felt like flashbacks to dirty California beaches. Everywhere we went: trash, broken glass, diapers, beer cans, baby wipes. Floating in the water. Tangled in plants. Scattered across the shore. My daughter was in the water for maybe 45 seconds before she cut her foot open on a shard of glass, and we had to go back to camp to pull it out. None of us even got to swim. And this wasn’t just one spot — we tried three different lakes and five different locations, hoping for a safe place for the kids. Nothing.
We are never coming back. People can say what they want about western Washington coasts and lakes (the weather, the crowds, whatever), but what we do right is keeping our beaches, parks, and wildlife refuges clean. We respect our nature and our wildlife. We don’t like people coming into our homes and leaving trash everywhere, so we don’t do that to other places.
This place could be a gem. It could be beautiful and worth returning to every year. But that won’t happen. This was our first — and our last — time visiting.

翻译：我们在Pothole Camp住了两晚，从第一天早上（周六）开始，整个旅程就糟透了。
第一个问题：有人觉得把黄蜂/大黄蜂陷阱挂在我们和邻居两个营地中间是个天才主意。周六早上，我们醒来时发现帐篷里到处都是黄蜂。起初，我们不明白为什么，直到我们发现陷阱挂在一棵树上，嗡嗡作响。我丈夫去护林站报告，但那里一个人也没有。大约一个小时后，终于有一位护林员出现并移走了陷阱——那时，我们的孩子们甚至还没能离开帐篷。
处理完这件事后，我开始清理之前露营者在我们营地留下的所有垃圾。那天晚上晚些时候，我们吃晚饭时，我们的大女儿被蜜蜂蛰了。
说到垃圾——我们来谈谈湖泊吧。我们去了湖边的多个地方，说实话，感觉就像回到了加州脏兮兮的海滩。到处都是：垃圾、碎玻璃、尿布、啤酒罐、婴儿湿巾。漂浮在水面上，缠在植物上，散落在岸边。我女儿在水里待了大概45秒，脚就被一块玻璃碎片划破了，我们不得不回到营地把它捞出来。我们甚至都没能游上几圈。而且这还不止一个地方——我们试了三个不同的湖泊和五个不同的地点，希望能给孩子们找到一个安全的地方。但什么也没找到。
我们再也不会回来了。人们可以对华盛顿州西部的海岸和湖泊说三道四（天气、人潮等等），但我们做得对的是保持海滩、公园和野生动物保护区的清洁。我们尊重自然和野生动物。我们不喜欢有人闯入我们家，到处乱扔垃圾，所以我们也不会对其他地方这样做。
这个地方本来可以成为一颗宝石。它或许很美，值得每年都去。但这不可能了。这是我们第一次——也是最后一次——来这里。
