For almost 5 a long time, Forks, Washington, resident John Anderson has pursued an enthusiasm—one would possibly even name it an obsession—with issues that wash up alongside the Pacific Northwest shoreline.
Describing his occupation as “extreme beachcombing,” the pastime reworked right into a full-time ardour when he retired from his plumbing job and reworked his store in Forks, Washington, into John’s Beachcombing Museum.
A fascinating mini documentary by Ryan Pinkard and Christian Klintholm follows the intrepid forager on seaside treks and thru his archive of treasures. “Extreme Beachcombing” is narrated fully by Anderson, who takes us on a tour of his floor-to-ceiling hoard of curiosities.
If you happen to’re passing by means of Forks, John’s Beachcombing Museum is open most days from June by means of August. You’ll be able to discover a plethora of human-made objects that float in from all around the world, from quotidian plastic toys and dock boots to nuclear submarine locator beacons and a WWII life raft radio.
