We were blessed with one day of sunshine in the northwest and then it was gone! Oh well. We headed to Olympic National Park in the drizzle hoping to see some more wildlife and the coastal beaches.
On our way there, we passed through a town called Aberdeen, Washington. According to the DJ on the radio, it was Kurt Cobain’s hometown. We were a little skeptical until we arrived at the town and the sign said Welcome to Aberdeen, Come as You Are…It looked like half of the houses and buildings were abandoned…Not really somewhere I would visit again.
Once we were within the park, we got out of the car at Ruby Beach. We spent a good hour wandering along the beach and exploring the tide pools. King had a blast too!
We left the beach and went back into a forest area called Hoh rain forest. The place gets 12 feet of rain per year. It was crazy! All of the trees were covered in bright green moss. It would make a perfect Ewok village! Sorry, I don’t have too many pictures because it was getting dark…
On our way to our campsite near Port Angeles, we passed through a town called Forks. Apparently it had something to do with Twilight because all of the shops and gas stations and motels had some kind of Twilight souvenirs advertised. Even our campsite billboard said "Vampires Welcome." Mwahahahaaaaa
