SALISH SEA

Nestled on the Strait of Juan de Fuca in the Salish Sea lies a sleepy little fishing village call "Clallam Bay Sekiu". It is on the coast of the Olympic Peninsula in the north west coast of Washington state.  My first view of this little bay nearly took my breath away...

We are here during their off season so there is room in the RV Campgrounds. We found a campground overlooking the beach which is across the road. The above picture is the same beach. Here is a view in the other direction...

The dark blue strip in the clouds is actual Vancouver Island, Canada. Which is seventeen miles away. They are hidden by a fog bank today. But I do not want to forget the things I saw getting to this beautiful beach. The Northern Cascade Park was an magnificent place with it's old growth forest. We decided if we return there we would never call ahead because the section they reserve is a bit too primative and you have a good chance of being put into a site with an old table covered in moss and hard to walk in because of rock or roots. But as for picture taking their beauty stood out. Sort of reminds be of a table that you would find Robin Hood and his merry band of outlaws sharing, don't you think...or maybe, a hobbit and his friends...

We enjoyed our stay there but in the end I was glad to be on the road to finding a Walmart to purchase Dcon. We found we had mice in the house. I don't do mice! I'm still looking for an electronic mouse repeller but in the meantime Dcon will take care of the problem. I've cleaned the cabinets and washed everything and tomorrow I shampoo carpet and mop the floors. I am not sure where we picked up the mice so I cannot say it was here. It is just one of those things that any camper can find if they do not put out the decon, rodent repeller, and seal the holes. Rodents are known to get into mansions too, lol.

But back to the trip. We enjoy all but the traffic in the Seattle area...

I did manage to get a photo of the Space Needle and the harbor...

But the most awesome thing I saw was when we topped the crest of a hill and there in all it's glory stood Mount Rainier. I am sorry to say that the picture is a bit blurry because of having to point and shoot in a hurry without being able to chose my shot nor steady the camera. But with  the photo does show the mountain that I saw before me. That is not a cloud in the center.. it is a snow topped mountain. The tallest in the state of  Washington.

Today Phil is going to take me on a sight seeing tour up the coast to the end of coastal road. It is as far northwest as one can get in Washington. We were told of a naval base, puffins, and a Native America Reservation at the far point. So, I will close and get the camera for tomorrows Blog. See you then.... But meanwhile.... KEEP ON DANCING WITH THE ANGELS!
