Tourist City Day
After hiking and forests and mountains and rivers, today was “city day”. We went to breakfast in Port Angeles at First Haven Café, a very small but busy little restaurant downtown. The very first item on the menu was French […]
North Coast of Olympic National Park
Though we are still visiting Olympic National Park, today we moved to a campground on the north coast, Elwah Dam RV Park near Port Angeles. The motorhomes sit close together, but we needed to recharge and get some laundry done and this […]

A grave, a hike, and a mountain goat in a parabola
Since we are gone for much of the day time on our own adventures, we try to take Molly out for a walk every morning and every evening when possible. Usually this is just a loop around the campground as […]
