Roadside Attraction
Clearly, the bake sale funds a worthy cause. Make no mistake, however. This is no ordinary bake sale. On Saturday, the “party” goes all night, and community members bring their stand-up basses, drums and guitars for a local jam session. Many of the people I talked to on Sunday had spent the night at the bake sale — which, keep in mind, is basically at an intersection in the middle of nowhere. Either Whale Gulch has some dedicated members, or that was one rockin’ party. I’d guess it was a little bit of both. One thing I know for sure: I got my five bucks worth. The apple pie nearly brought me to tears.
