All buckled up for a trip to the Olympic Peninsula
It was blowing hard as we crossed the sound on
Walla Walla
wiser heads spent the crossing inside.
Sequim
, population 5,688, is
supposedly in the rain shadow
of the Olympics. It's been raining on all four occasions that I've passed through.
Traffic was a tad backed up, but luckily it looks like the accident wasn't nearly as bad as the rumors had suggested.
We stopped off at the aptly named Storm King Ranger Station. It was chucking it down.
This picture is especially noteworthy since taking it delayed our departure...
...putting us behind the extraordinary wide load (again!) and therefore is slow stop-start traffic around
Lake Crescent
.
But the view from the cabins on the beach at
La Push
was worth it.
