Port Gamble



Nestled away in the Kitsap peninsula is a tiny town called Port Gamble. It is quaint, charming. You can almost hear the sound of horse drawn carriages coming down the street. Upon exploring more of this scenic place you realize you have ventured back into time. The houses, the cemetery, the church. All belonging to an era of the
1800's perfectly preserved.

There is another feeling you might get walking around. You might notice that there are no people or what I should say no "residents" of the town in sight. No one doing yard work or sitting on their porches. The people you do see however are shop keepers and other tourists.
Where are the real residents? You might begin to wonder. The vendors at the Farmer's Market wouldn't really count. Even peering into the church you will not see a soul attending Sunday's sermon.

Do they come out at night instead to begin their day?
