We met in Old Town, at the replica of the Job Carr Cabin museum. Museum staff, Holly, was so helpful and came to open the cabin for us.
We branched out from there.
My first sketch was of the fish sculpture at Gateway Park. After I got home I went looking for information and discovered a mystery about the disappearance of this sculpture and others like it. They are called Soul Salmon and a number of them have been stolen. "In 2016, a Soul Salmon from Old Town returned — in the middle of the night — to its rightful perch in Gateway Park, where it had disappeared from a decade prior."
I have custody of an Urban Sketchers traveling sketchbook. Prior to arriving in my mailbox, it had been to several other USk branches around the country. Ikuyo did the first sketch, the Soul Salmon, and I added the Carr cabin on our USk Tacoma page in the sketchbook. It goes to Seattle next and then onward.
The original Job Carr cabin dates from 1865.
Just before it was time to meet again, I did a quick ink sketch of the cooking fireplace in the cabin.
