We are back in the USA. The sun is bright red, blocked by the fires in British Columbia, and there is enough of a chill to encourage sweatshirts. Once off the ferry, we restock the refer in Anacortes, and head for yet one more ferry to Port Townsend, and then to our destination Sol Doc...part of the Olympic National Park. A quick look at Find-a-Friends tells us we are 6 miles behind our son, Nathan and his friend Richard, who are going to join us for the week-end. The road is windy and it is clearly the race between the tortoise (that would be us) and the hare...but we are more real world than the fable...and we lost the race.

At Sol Duc, the tent sites are to die for, the RV sites are reminiscent of a parking lot, with a dozen or so Asians camping next to us. So we decide to cook in the RV and then carry everything to Nathan's tent site. Our first night, we had curried chicken with rice, but on the way to the car, the rice spilled, Deb screamed and one of the Asian women came over to find out what happened. Of course, the Asian camp had plenty of rice, and offered to refill our rice bowl, we graciously accepted their rice and dinner was saved.
Sol Duc is in a temperate rainforest....although it's best known for it's hot springs (another place that heats their chlorinated pool with hot spring water), we opted for hikes in the virgin redwood forests. We even had a campfire with humongous marsh mellows. It was a wonderful weekend filled with family, good food, and memorable times.
Tomorrow we are off for....TBD
