Slippin’ South

 We spent most of our last day in Port Angeles on the breakwater that protects the harbor. It’s a 2 mile long jetty created by thousands of tons of rock stacked with gravel and dirt. At the very end, the US Coast Guard has a station, equipped to provide support to the community.

Can’t ignore the Olympic mountains!

Driving back to the mainland, we noticed a pocket of fog stuck in the hills, seemingly ready to ooze down onto the paper mill!

The moist, cool coastal weather is great for wildflowers!

Can you see the face?

Next day:

We have packed up our toys and started the southerly journey toward home. After navigating downtown Port Angeles one more time, we settled in through some of the awesome scenery in the Olympic National Park.

Crescent Lake is just a few miles west, and is a huge lake! The glacially formed lake is 17 miles long and 620 feet deep,

After cruising through the town of Forks, we only had a little over a hundred miles to go!

We managed to score the nicest rv site in the Hoquiam River RV Park, in Hoquiam, Washington, right along the…..Hoquiam river.

There’s a great path just outside our door that winds through nine and a half acres of rainforest. Sasha loved it!

Ferns, ferns, everywhere!

A perfect end to the day!
