Olympic Peninsula, Washington

Large Sitka Spruce trees in the rain forest.  Lake Quinault area

I just love these trees.   I'll try to limit the number of tree pix in this post

Using Cassie and the surrounding trees as reference points, you can tell just how big this tree is.

Lake Quinault.   Unbenownst to us...the indian tribe that owns the lake just put a ban on all boats.   So no noisy motors!

Disgusting banana slug

This is a more rainforesty shot of the woods

Our campsite on Lake Quinault.  There is exactly 1 lakeside spot in the RV park, and we go it.   The views were gorgeous!

Our oceanfront spot.   First Beach, La Push, Washington

Lots of HUGE driftwood on the beach.

Missy getting ready for a surf session.   She's really taken quite a shine to ocean surfing.

Some of the worst scenery for surfing.  :-)

Me and my pooches

Me and Missy suited up to go play in the waves.   (Not kayak playing, swim playing)

Wheeeeeee!

Guess we're the only ones with the right gear to play in these cold water temps.   Thermal layers in the drysuit kept me plenty toasty.   But my hands got quite cold.
