101 RV Park
Forks, Washington
It was several long days of driving but we finally made it out of the smoke. When we pulled into the RV park in Idaho the manager came out to check that we were the proper distance from the other RVs. He wanted to make sure we had a "fire break" between rigs.
Washington was just as smokey as Idaho so we traveled farther west to the Olympic Peninsula. Unfortunately when we arrived in Port Townsend we found out that the Wooden Boat Show started the next day so we moved around to Forks on the west side of the peninsula. It was only about 100 miles but it took us four hours to make the trip due to traffic and road construction.
It isn't smokey here but we still haven't seen the sun. It seems we just traded the smoke for the haze and mist.
Yesterday we visited the HOH Rain Forest on the western side of Olympic National Park.
It was quite a change from the hot smokey weather we have been having.
The park reminded us of Delaware where the humidity is just as high.
We took three of the trails but even after walking several miles the only wildlife we saw was one squirrel and this slug.
After the rain forest we drove down to Ruby Beach and we were rewarded with a glimpse of blue sky.
All the beaches around here are littered with large logs that have washed up on the beach over time. It makes for quite an obstacle course, especially after the tide comes in.
Tomorrow we are finally heading south on our way back to Arizona.
