We started the morning with writing five days of blog entries! Needless to say we didn’t leave too early.

First stop was the Northwest Native Expressions Art Gallery in Sequim with beautiful and very reasonably priced native art, including artists from Canada. We bought a small carving of a hummingbird, made by a local artist.

Lunch was at the Black Bear Diner, also in Sequim, where we had a drink made of iced tea, lemonade and fresh strawberries. Delicious and refreshing and soon to be on our home menu.

The highlight in the afternoon was a first glimpse of the northern rain forest which we will explore tomorrow.

We enjoyed a brief stay at Lake Crescent before we found our new campground at the Minnie Peterson campground near the Hoh Rain Forest. This campground only has 8 spots and we were able to secure the very last spot which was reserved for people with disabilities until 6PM. As we had arrived at 5PM, we had a tense hour of waiting for wheelchairs to arrive and take the spot.

At 6PM sharp we breathed a sigh of relief, locked the RV and headed for a short hike along and in the nearby Hoh river.
