Feeling Very Olympic

It was a little hard to leave Canada and all our friends behind, however the pull of adventure and the open road was calling our names and it was time to move on. We headed south into the states and straight to the Olympic National Park just west of Washington. It has been a nice was to ease ourselves into the land of consumerism, and nice to remember that even our neighbors to the south have an appreciation of the wilderness. We spent a few great nights in the western rainforest and explored a few beaches which was just a taste of what is to come. The nights are still a little chilly and we are looking forward to getting south to the warmth!

Exploring some of the huge deadwood scattered on the shores.



Yes, we did go to Forks and to LaPush... Jess and Alli, this picture for you and who ever else unfortunately got caught up in the frenzy that is "Twilight". It had taken over the town of Forks, thats for sure!

 The Washington Coast is scattered with amazing sea stacks and Tide pools

 Olympic National Park lays claim to some record breaking trees. This is a massive Cedar.

 Luckily they were able to cure me of my "olympicness"

Some of the beautiful forests in Olympic National Park. A pretty magical place

Our new headlights! Compliments of Russ and Andrew and a hard days work! Thanks a lot!!!
