Fog shrouded Edmonds as we left the ferry dock, bound for Forks, 139 miles away.
| We took a break at Dungeness Spit. At 5.5 miles it's the world's longest naturally occurring sandspit and home to the Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge. It was one of the first places Tim showed me during my first trip to Washington State, back in 1998. |
There's a well-maintained path leading down to the beach.
The sandspit was littered with driftwood. Across the strait of Juan de Fuca
is Canada!
The ebbing tides leave treasures, like brightly colored clumps of seaweed.
Oooooh, it's a Komodo Dragon, waiting to pounce.
Tim thought this one was cool.
Peek-a-boo!
| Several benches line the path down to the water. It's quite steep. When Tim and I first came here we both smoked a fair bit and frequently had to stop on the hill, gasping for breath. Now we can hike up and down without a break. We're in much better condition than we were 12 years ago. |
Here's our lunch spot of the day, with a friend. The sun came out too.
This driveway to a fairly ordinary home near Dungeness Spit was eyecatching.
It's aways nice to see the lovely Crescent Lake as we near our destination
of Forks.
| Our first stop on Day Two was the Hoh Rainforest, south of Forks. The road is lined with tall, straight trees and lush greenery. |
Now and then through a break in the trees we saw the Hoh River.
Last time on the Spruce Nature Trail, we'd seen Roosevelt Elk and an Osprey.
