Well we had a full day at the Olympic Peninsula, but we could only get a room for one night, so we had to go to another "non-luxurious" lodge further down the Peninsula, but there were more hikes I wanted to do where we stayed the first night, so we decided to get up at 6 am do a hike - check out and then head to camp number two.
The plan was to hike, checkout, go to new camp check in shower and explore. So we did get up early, and we were almost the first one on the path, but we did come across our waitress who was just coming back from an early morning run (yuck) and she scared the bejeeses out of me. I rounded a corner and bam there she was - I screamed like a little girl and she screamed like a little girl and she went running off as T2 came running up to see if I was dead. The walk was beautiful and quiet, and we walked three and a half miles out (so yes we had three and a half miles back) but it was wonderful. On our way back people were starting to show up and when we rounded a bend to a bridge a bunch of teenagers where there jumping in. T2 tried to get a picture of one, but I am not sure she got it. I thought better of taking pictures of the the natives for fear of them putting a curse on me.

Curses by the native teenagers? You've been watching too many sci-fi/werewolf/witchy tales!
ReplyDeleteBoy, 7 mile round trips are getting to be pretty second nature to you. Sounds like Taya and I need to get our act in gear!
TSH is glad you had a wonderful time! Taya AND TSH are specially glad to have you home again!
yep and these natives were lunatics - diving into frigid waters from a 20 foot cliff.
