Last time we were at South Beach Campground, part of Olympic National Park, was in August 2015. We arrived around 5 pm, and barely made it into the park. It is a first come, first serve park, costing $10 with National Park Senior Card. Today, we got here at 2:30...and the park wasn't even half full! It is nearly 9 pm, and there are still a couple of spots, and people are still coming in. Last time we were here I think we stayed 3 or 4 nights...today it will be just one night.
The left picture above is the north side of the park, the right is the south side. I took these about 90 minutes ago...now the empty spots are nearly all taken.
Thought this mural on the Ace Hardware in Raymond WA looked kinda neat...the whole town was full of metal art pieces of animals, Oregon Trail wagons and oxen, and stuff like that. Looked like a neat little town, and we enjoyed eating breakfast/lunch there along the side of a park.
Much of our trip today looked like these pictures...lot of trees, lots of open road, very little Ocean. Accidentally missing a turn for Highway 101 and we ended up going about 10 miles up Long Beach...which is a peninsula that ends at Leadbetter Point. At least I caught it before I went the entire 20 miles before finding out I missed a turn. That's what I get for not using the GPS, which is a rare thing not to have it going.
GOOD NIGHT!
