The Olympic Penninsula

Some neat islands just off shore.

We drove up the coast road on the west side of the Olympic Penninsula and when you were within 100 yards of the ocean, it was foggy, and cold. It was 53 degrees around noon here.


This was a lacey one.


There were a couple of nice waterfalls in the area where we were camped last night too.


It was tall too.


The base of the tree was hollow. It was about 20 feet across inside.


We hiked about 1/2 mile through dense rain forrest to see this tree. It is the largest Western Red Cedar in the World.


Looking up the tree.

I'm standing at the base holding a white piece of paper.


Last night we camped about 100 feet from this tree.


By the way, I haven't mentioned the weather recently. This is a photo of the local weather forecast near where we are. Note the highs and lows! ;^)


Private RV park amongst the tall trees.


Seattle's Space Needle.


We drove through Seattle last Sunday. It was raining and foggy.
