We took a few days to celebrate our anniversary over Labor Day weekend. We were able to find a camping spot at Ocean City State Park at Gray's Harbor, Wa. and spent some time on the west and north side of the Olympic National Park.
We attended church at the Ocean Shores Branch. They were all so friendly to the visitors who outnumbered the locals
The tallest Sitka Spruce in the world. The co-record holder in Oregon fell down a few years ago
These beautiful hydrangeas were planted all along the front flower beds of the lodge
Lake Quinalt Lodge. I am looking at the lake which was beautiful!
Here is a totem Pole/Rain Gage on the back wall of Quinalt Lodge. The record rainfall is shown by the bar that hits just at the base of the wings~a whopping 25 feet/year!
Ruby Beach~notice how coarse the 'sand' is
Ruby Beach in Washington~somebody had stacked stones on all kinds of surfaces on the beach

Hurricane Ridge outside of Port Angeles looks out onto the Olympic National Park~miles and miles of steep wooded mountains. No road goes all the way through. A handful of roads penetrate a few miles into the park
