We are flying into New York’s JFK Airport from Las Vegas on December 18 and leaving January 7. I expect everyone who reads this blog to come out the airport to greet us (at 7 A.M.)!! Ann has been busy making all of our doctors appointments.
A few miles north of Chimacum, at the Northeast end of the Olympic Peninsula, is Port Townsend. It is a nice touristy town with the usual restaurants and art galleries.
The highlight of our stay this week was a trip to Olympic National Park. For most of the park there are no roads that let you drive throughout the park, like Yellowstone or Tetons. There are several roads that take you in from the edge of the park. We took one road to the Hurricane Ridge Visitors Center. The road is only 12 miles long, but it takes you up 6000 feet for some of the most spectacular views of the park. Here are some pictures, but you cannot get the scope of the view. You just have to be there.
The the walk around the Visitor’s center smelled like Christmas. A strong scent of Pine.
Next, on to Mt. St. Helens.
Life is hard, but someone has to do it, on the Roan Road…
