I left the mountains and headed for the coast this morning. We took a brief drive through La Push, Washington for a view of the harbor before returning to Second Beach, one of many beaches in the Olympic National Park which seemed to encompass the entire western peninsula of Washington. I really can’t imagine basking in the sun on Second Beach.
ON THE ROAD AGAIN!
We started out the day taking a four mile dirt road up to the Mount Walker Viewpoint. There is both a north and south viewpoint. On a clear day, the Seattle area, Mount Rainier (the highest peak in Washington), Hood Canal with one of the longest floating bridges in the world over tidal waters,
Mount Baker, and several other peaks in the Olympic Mountains are part of the scenic panorama. Today, however, fog was the only view. Mount Walker is home to a handful of caches, though, so we picked up a few before bouncing back down to Highway 101.
I spent the day resting at Dosewallips State Park. VANilla got a good internal clean, and I stayed near a shower in order to clean my wound. I did meet a few interesting folks in the town bar where I grabbed dinner and watched part of the football game. It would be the Patriots…UGH! Anyway, most of the locals looked like the guy who sat across from me…though I didn’t meet him.
