Please welcome Sam and Pam the Clams from Pismo Beach, California a beach that also offers California Desert looking sand dunes where you can still drive and off road four wheel drive vehicles (ATV's) All Terrain Vehicles along the sands of the Pacific Coast of California.

 

Mr. and Mrs. Clam are representatives of the great clam dig and dignitaries for Pismo Beach tourism.

 

Here is who and what this couple are.

They are dressed up like clams and they are a couple in fact they were featured on the PBS State Wide California viewers only Huell Howser's California's Gold television program here http://www.calgold.com/ where Huell went to Pismo Beach meet with the city officials and the State of California Park Rangers to discover the history of the clam and its overwhelming popularity as the place that has more clams then any other place on earth.

 

Logic is a fan of the Huell Howser TV Show however sometimes these shows are truly boring, we like him anyways.

 

In fact the old 1930 gangsters because of the depression coined the phrase Clams as the same meaning as dollars because the clams were actually traded for services currency instead of money in the depressionary times.

 

It is illegal for industry to dig for clams in Pismo Beach as it used to  to be permitted however even though you cannot commercially dig the clams here you can dig them for personal consumption and in fact a lot of local restaurants will cook up your catch for you to enjoy at there tables with other restaurant offerings.
