September 17th

We stayed in Port Angeles at the Walmart until this morning.  We did some sightseeing around there, drove up to Hurricane ridge in the Olympia National Park on Sat.  We had warm sunny weather.

But Sunday it rained off and on all day, so we pretty much just hung out in the RV and did some reading.   Yesterday we drove down to Port Townsend and met a old? High school friend for lunch. She recently moved from MN, out to that area to be with her daughter and family.  Was so nice to see her again.

We drove to Forks this morning and found a RV park.  It was less then 50 miles, it was a narrow, windy road tho so took a little longer, but I like those short trips!!

This afternoon we drove to the Hoh Rain Forest and did some hiking and sightseeing. The average rainfall there is 142 inches.  The trees can grow up to 300 ft and as much as 23 or more ft around.  

There were some really big ones and moss is hanging from everything.  It's really kind of fascinating and a little eerie.  

This is on the road to hurricane ridge 

The fog was sitting right on the water at Port Townsend

This is a Big Spruce tree in the rain forest

Like I said, moss grows on everything

I thought this was so pretty, it was growing under the water

Beautiful ferns all over.
