From one of my visits to Seattle, I drove down to Tacoma and out onto the peninsula. For weeks Peacetrain Charlie had been raving about Port Townsend, so that was my first objective.
 |
| the new and improved Tacoma Narrows bridge |
THIS is a 4 minute education in what happened to the original bridge
 |
| We biked out to these 1940's era artillery fortifications. |
I met up with Charlie right away and he dialed me into most of what the town has to offer.
 |
| We caught the local farmer's market. |
 |
| the boat making museum |
|
 |
| checking out the Free Box in the early a.m. |
 |
| the Port Townsend Skatepark is satisfactory. |
|
I said my good byes to Charlie and rolled out of town.
 |
| Port Angeles was the next stop. |
 |
| stopped for some coastline sightseeing on the peninsula. |
 |
| did a few hikes down to the water.. Goonies style |
 |
| the town of FORKS got a good park recently |
 |
| The bowl wasn't too big....it offered a lot. |
 |
| This bowl in Hoquiam surprised me pleasantly! |
 |
| Naked Falls along the Washougal |
 |
| a local badass handled the backflip without incident |
this
guy had less experience but showed me the ropes. would you call it a
flying squirrel?
So before crossing back into Oregon, I did some river swimming scouting along the Washougal. Found some of the gems I'd been hearing about. I decided to investigate the Wind River Hot Spring too.
 |
| In the past you used to be able to cross private land, but NO LONGER. I ate a few of there blackberries and went and had dinner at PROPER EATS. |
